A supercomputer has tipped Manchester City to pip Liverpool to a fourth Premier League title in a row - despite forecasting the Reds to tally over 90 points.
The Reds currently sit second in the Premier League table and one point behind Pep Guardiola's side, who they face at the Etihad on Saturday. Jurgen Klopp's side know should they return from East Manchester victorious they will leapfrog their long-standing foes in the standings, return to the top of the division and increase their hopes of landing a second title in five seasons.
However, a supercomputer provided by King Casino Bet, which simulated each fixture 1,000 times, has backed the Reds to fall short in their pursuit of a first Premier League title since 2020, with their predicted tally of 93 points not enough to wrestle England's top prize away from the Etihad.

City are expected to continue their fierce grip on the Premier League title with an astonishing points tally of 98, while Liverpool, Arsenal and Newcastle United are expecting to make up the rest of the top four.
Guardiola's side, however, are currently being investigated for 115 breaches of Premier League rules, though any punishment is unlikely to be implemented this season due to the complex nature of a case that is said to still be years away from completion.
Just missing out on the elusive Champions League spots will be Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United, while Chelsea are expected to endure another season of transition in West London as they finish the campaign in 12th place with a measly total of 47 points.
Everton, though, are expected to beat the drop despite being docked 10 points for falling foul of the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability rules, which saw them fall into the relegation places over the weekend.
In fact, for the first time since 1998 all three of the promoted sides from the Championship - Burnley, Sheffield United and Luton Town - are expected to return immediately to the second tier.
