After returning to the top of the table, the Reds overtook Manchester City for the first time and became the favourites to win the championship

Believe it or not, Liverpool's second Premier League trophy in team history is really coming.

After Arsenal's draw with Manchester City at the Etihad, Liverpool secured the top spot in the Premier League, and with this as a boundary, Liverpool began to be truly regarded as the number one favorite to win the Premier League this season.

After the end of this round, OPTA, a well-known data agency, used supercomputers to simulate the remaining games of the season for the three champions of the season: Liverpool's probability of winning the championship has increased by 47.7% from 35.3% before the start of this round, an increase of 12.4 percentage points, and surpassed Manchester City to become the first place for the first time.

This is also the first time that OPTA's simulated prediction of the Premier League title this season has surpassed Manchester City. Manchester City's probability of winning the title has dropped from 45.9% before the start of this round to 33.5%, which is also a drop of 12.4 percentage points, which is also the lowest probability of winning the title that Manchester City have predicted in the OPTA this season.

As for Arsenal, the probability of winning the title is still 18.8%.

In terms of the odds of winning the championship of major British institutions, Liverpool also surpassed Manchester City's 3.0 odds with 2.2 odds and became the first. In other words, Liverpool, which is leading alone in the standings, is also leading in terms of the probability of winning the championship and the odds of winning the championship. Klopp's parting gift to Anfield when he said goodbye was the Premier League trophy that he was looking forward to day and night.

Comparing the remaining fixtures of the Premier League with the three champions, Manchester City has the advantage, Liverpool is second, and Arsenal is the most difficult.

With nine games left in the Premier League, Manchester City's BIG6 and top-four opponents are only Tottenham Hotspur and Villa, Liverpool's BIG6 and top-four opponents are Tottenham, Manchester United and Villa, and Arsenal's BIG6 and top-four opponents are Tottenham, Manchester United, Chelsea and Villa. Tottenham and Villa have been the key touchstones in the title race, with Manchester United likely to have an impact on the title race. In comparison, it is naturally Arsenal the most difficult, after all, the north London derby, the London derby and the Gunners battle are all hard battles.

But if you look at the full schedule, it is Liverpool who have the most advantage.

Although Liverpool, Manchester City, and Arsenal will all be distracted by the European competition, it is the Champions League that involves the energy of Manchester City and Arsenal, and the opponents in the 1/4 finals are still as strong as Real Madrid and Bayern, while Liverpool is in the Europa League, and the opponent in the 1/4 finals is only Atalanta.

The difficulty and consumption of the Champions League are certainly not comparable to the Europa League, especially when the season enters the sprint stage of the championship.

In addition, Manchester City have one FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea, and the consumption is destined to be not small. Manchester City and Chelsea have been tied at home and away in the Premier League this season, and it will not be easy to win and progress to the final. As a result, Manchester City's most advantageous Premier League title fixture no longer exists.

Looking at the points again, Liverpool is 2 points ahead of Arsenal, 3 points ahead of Manchester City, and the goal difference is significantly ahead of Manchester City.

Of course, the title race is complicated, with Arsenal defending at the Etihad and Manchester City not making a single bet, and the title race has turned into a focused 100-meter sprint, pinning the title on the mistakes of their opponents and dropping points. And in this regard, Manchester City is the best at it.

But there are only three things to do, as long as they win games against Tottenham, Villa and Manchester United, Liverpool have a good chance of reliving their Premier League dream under Jurgen Klopp. The arrival of the second Premier League trophy in the team's history will mean that Liverpool will rightfully regain the throne of England's number one club from Manchester United, and Klopp will also be completely crowned.
