Liverpool have been handed a fresh prediction for their final position in the Premier League table. The Reds moved eight points clear at the top of the current standings after their victory over Southampton.
Arne Slot’s team recorded a 3-2 win over the Saints thanks to a Mohamed Salah brace supported by a goal from Dominik Szoboszlai. The win saw Liverpool extend their advantage over Manchester City in the table to eight points after Pep Guardiola’s side lost to Tottenham Hotspur.
The weekend’s results also leave Liverpool nine points ahead of Arsenal, Chelsea and Brighton in the table with 12 fixtures played. Next week will see the Reds host City at Anfield in the top-of-the-table clash in the Premier League.

With another weekend of Premier League football almost completed, a supercomputer has attempted to predict how the final table will look in May. BETSiE, a supercomputer provided by BettingExpert.com, has crunched the numbers and believes that Liverpool will win the title.
The prediction has tipped Liverpool to finish with 81.1 points at the end of the campaign, more than five ahead of runners-up Man City with 75.9 points. It has been predicted that the Reds have a 58.9% chance of winning the title, compared to just 21.5% for City.
Arsenal are tipped to finish third in the final table with 75.9 points while Chelsea are fourth with 69.5 points and potentially the final Champions League spot. At the other end of the table, it’s Leicester City, Ipswich Town and Southampton that are the teams predicted to be relegated to the Championship.
Liverpool have a busy run of fixtures on the horizon starting with a Champions League clash against Real Madrid in midweek followed by the clash against City. The Reds will then have back-to-back away matches in the Premier League against Newcastle and Everton, with the latter being potentially the final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park.
