Top pick shifts: "Supercomputer" predicts the latest Premier League champion after summarizing this week's standings.
On 5 May 2026, Opta, the football statistics expert, released the latest prediction from its supercomputer about which team is most likely to win the 2025-26 English Premier League season after the conclusion of week 35 matches.
League leaders Arsenal comfortably won 3-0 at home against Fulham, while second-placed Manchester City stumbled with a 3-3 draw against Everton, nearly losing. This has caused another twist in the Premier League title race.
1. Arsenal (35 matches) 76 points (67 goals scored, 26 conceded, goal difference +41)
2. Manchester City (34 matches) 71 points (69 goals scored, 32 conceded, goal difference +37)
Opta's supercomputer predicts Arsenal remains the clear favorite to win the Premier League, with their chances rising by nearly 15 percentage points compared to before last weekend's matches, overtaking Manchester City.
Top pick Arsenal 85.24% (previously 70.90%)
Second pick Manchester City 14.76% (previously 29.10%)
