Will the Premier League trophy return to Anfield in four months time?

Well, according to Opta's supercomputer, it is very much Liverpool's to lose.

That will not come as any great shock when Arne Slot's men have held their reign at the top of the table and are five points clear of second-place Arsenal with a game in hand.

Opta predict Liverpool are 89.9% likely to win the title in May, with the Gunners the only side capable of challenging at 9.5%.

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has said from the start of the season that his side are not in the race as they continue to develop, but they have a slightly higher chance of winning the title than reigning champions Manchester City.
