Liverpool’s dominance has become the decisive narrative of this season’s title race.
After securing a critical victory over Manchester City, Arne Slot’s side has opened a 11 -point gap at the summit.
Arsenal’s defeat to West Ham has further integrated Liverpool’s handle in the league. With only one loss all the time, the reds have shown remarkable consequence and The latest data of OPTA It gives them a stunning chance of 96.7% to lift the Premier League trophy.
The numbers tell an exciting story, but Liverpool’s performances were just as convincing.

While the title match can reach its conclusion, the battle for the rest of the Champions League is as intense as ever.
Only four points divide the fourth place of Manchester City from the tenth placed Fulham, making this one of the most competitive top four in recent history.
Among the candidates, traditional forces such as Manchester United and Tottenham are mainly absent, having endured inconsistent times.
Instead, surprise packages such as Bournemouth, Nottingham Forest and Fulham have entered the debate, proving that the gap between the average banks and the Champions League positions is smaller than ever.
According to the OPTA supercomputer, several teams have a legal shot to secure a top four finishes, making each match in the coming weeks critical.
For Manchester City, the prospect of losing the top four would be unthinkable.
Pep Guardiola’s side has been synonymous with success in recent years, but their races this season have left to fight for a European country and not for the title. Similarly, Newcastle and Aston Villa are willing to take advantage of the opportunity, showing shine of brilliance throughout the campaign.
With such a congestion table, any team that can connect a series of wins could be found in the Champions League next season.
This unpredictable race is what gives the Premier League the reputation of being one of the best and most competitive on the planet.
The Middle Battle: Spurs and United races

Apart from the match for the top four, the battle to finish in the upper half has its own intrigue.
Tottenham and Manchester United, two clubs that are used to provoking European football, have suffered difficult times.
While Spurs still have a slight hope of qualifying in Europe, OPTA’s views give them only a 1.6% chance of ending in the first seven.
United’s matches were even more intense, with inconsistent performances and injuries that hinder their progress under Ruben Amorim.
Their new coach found it difficult to build any momentum, and if United can put a strong finish together, they could end up at the bottom six.
Meanwhile, teams like Crystal Palace and Everton have enjoyed remarkable revivals in the middle of the season. The palace, under Oliver Glasner, found the form at the right time, while Everton’s push under David Moyes saw them go up to the table.
If they can maintain their upward orbit, they could overcome some of the biggest names, a feat that many would have thought impossible a few months ago.

At the other end of the table, the relegation battle is more predictable. The three recently promoted sides – Southampton, Leicester and Ipswich – all face the gloomy reality of an immediate return to the league.
The step in quality was evident, all three are struggling to match the Premier League intensity and rhythm, despite the fact that each spending a decent sum of money in the summer.
Southampton has shown blossoms of durability, but in the end it did not have the power to compete.
Leicester, who dominated the championship last season, were unable to adapt to the demands of the top flight.
Ipswich, while displaying promising flashes, were found in excessive cases and may eventually have been exhausted after double promotion under Kieran McKenna.
The only other team that is in danger of being drawn to the relegation race is the wolves.
While they have shown more stability from the bottom, a bad path of the form could still endanger them.
Taking this, Opta’s latest views give Southampton, Leicester and Ipswich less than 5% chance of survival, making their fate look almost inevitable.
