MANCHESTER CITY was predicted to win the 2020-21 Premier League title with a supercomputer which also indicates that Arsenal will finish seventh.
The Citizens enter the campaign as lightweight favorites ahead of Liverpool after bringing in players like Nathan Ake and Ferran Torres.
This season has the potential to be the most competitive to date, with all the best clubs strengthening their rosters, with many more signings to go until the end of the window.

And having calculated all the games, they have declared that City will triumph with 88 points, seven more points than they accumulated last season.
Liverpool are expected to finish as runners-up with 81 points, 18 less than in their title-winning campaign.
It’s the same top four as last season, with Manchester United once again in third place, quickly followed by Chelsea in fourth.
Tottenham are left without a Champions League spot, with Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester set for another exceptional campaign in sixth place.
Arsenal have moved up one place since last season in seventh place, with Wolves, Everton and Southampton completing the top ten.
Newcastle, which was hoping to push for a European spot if its £ 300 million takeover were completed, is predicted to simply avoid relegation.
All three newly promoted teams have been backed to return to the Championship, despite many experts giving them the opportunity to stay on top.
