Opta supercomputer names new favourite for the Premier League title as Liverpool's chances drop below their two rivals after draw with Man United

Manchester City are the new favourites to win the Premier League title, despite being one point behind Arsenal and Liverpool with seven games to play. 

Liverpool surrendered their advantage in the title race after failing to make their chances count in a chaotic 2-2 draw with Manchester United on Sunday. 

That allowed Arsenal to keep top spot on goal difference, after they jumped to the top of the standings with an impressive 3-0 victory against Brighton a day prior. 

However, Opta's supercomputer still doesn't back Mikel Arteta's squad to lift what would be Arsenal's first Premier League title in two decades. 

Manchester City are instead deemed the favourites following their 4-2 victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. 

Pep Guardiola's side saw their title chances decline from 45.9 per cent to 33.5 after their goalless draw with Arsenal a week prior. 

However, the weekend's results have seen them shoot back up to 40.6 per cent, ahead of Arsenal on 30.3 and Opta's previous favourites Liverpool, who are now on just 29.1.

Manchester City's advantage perhaps comes down to the calibre of opponents they have left to play compared to their two rivals.

The remaining teams they play have an average current position of 11.4 in the Premier League, compared to Liverpool on 9.86 and Arsenal on 8.6.

City's trickiest test left is their trip to Tottenham, which still needs a date to be arranged.  

Liverpool face back-to-back clashes against Tottenham and Aston Villa, and also have a tricky-looking week where they travel to Fulham, Everton, and West Ham within the space of six days. They still have to play Merseyside rivals Everton at Goodison Park as well.

Arsenal next go up against Champions League-chasing Villa, while they have tricky away trips to Tottenham and Manchester United to come. 

Where the Reds could hold an advantage is the fact that Arsenal and Manchester City have a difficult-looking route to the Champions League final.

The Gunners and City play Bayern Munich and Real Madrid respectively in the quarter-finals, with the winners then playing each other in the final four.

Liverpool, meanwhile, face Serie A side Atalanta in the quarter-finals of the Europa League, and would play either Marseille or Benfica in the semi-finals. 

Arsenal currently top the standings thanks to their goal difference of +51, compared to Liverpool who are nine goals behind.

Manchester City are one point behind the pair and are in prime position to take advantage if either of their two rivals slip up.
