Arsenal have lost a two-goal lead again! Data favours Manchester City for the title

Arsenal squandered a two-goal lead at the London Stadium to draw 2-2 with West Ham. What are his chances of winning the title?

Even an excellent start to the game at West Ham was not enough for Arsenal to get three points. Quick goals from Jesus and Ødegaard sent the Canaries into a 2:0 lead. But Benrahma countered from the penalty spot and Jarrod Bowen equalised.

A week ago, Arsenal were in a very comfortable position. The Premier League lead was 8 points ahead of Manchester City, who have a game in hand.

After two losses, everything seems to be different. The Canaries squandered a tricky two-goal lead twice. Thus, the draw at Anfield this Sunday was joined by a shocking draw with West Ham, who are fighting for salvation.

Manchester, who still have a game to play, are currently only 4 points behind Arsenal. In addition, the scoreline is playing in its favour, which is a key factor in the same number of points at the end of the season.

Data firm Opta has already let its artificial intelligence determine who is the favourite for the title before the start of the weekend based on data. The results may have surprised some, as the model sees City as the more likely winner.

Opta determined the odds at 53/47 in Manchester City’s favour. However, after Arsenal’s loss at the weekend and the Citizens’ win over Leicester, we can expect an even more dramatic trend in Manchester City’s favour.

Arsenal currently have no choice but to concentrate on their next game against Southampton. The subsequent games against Manchester City, Chelsea, Newcastle and Brighton will be a real test for them.
