Manchester City have been predicted to win the 2023/24 Premier League title, despite tasting defeat for the second consecutive weekend on Sunday. City made a strong start to the season but have lost their rhythm over the past few weeks, with the absence of Rodri proving costly in defeats at the hands of Wolves and Arsenal. However, Opta reports that there is still an 80.1 per cent chance that they retain the title at the end of the season. Several sides have then been ranked as having a strong chance of completing the top four, though Tottenham are viewed as the most likely (24.4 per cent) to secure Champions League football to crown Ange Postecoglou’s first season in the Premier League appropriately. Newcastle will therefore drop out of the placings and have been given a 20.8 per cent chance of finishing 5th, with Aston Villa (6th, 18.2 per cent) and Brighton (7th, 17.6 per cent) set to complete the traditional European placings.
