A Premier League supercomputer has tipped Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool to get the better of Arsenal when Mikel Arteta's men make the trip to Anfield on Saturday night.
It is the Gunners who currently sit top of the table after 17 games played, having beaten Brighton 2-0 at the Emirates last time out. Liverpool underwhelmed at home against Manchester United and were held to a 0-0 draw, which in turn allowed Arsenal to leapfrog them into top spot.
Going into Saturday night's showdown, Arsenal are one point ahead of their hosts and know if they come away from Merseyside with even a point to show for their efforts, they will keep their noses in front in the race for the title.
However, unfortunately for the Gunners faithful, BetVictor 's supercomputer have backed Liverpool to come out on top. Klopp's side have been given a 47 per cent likelihood of getting the better of Arsenal, whose chances sit at just 30 per cent.
Meanwhile, Everton are in fine form at the moment but have been given just a 33 per cent chance of making it five wins from five games when they travel to Tottenham. Spurs edge it as favourites a 43 per cent chance of victory, having started to pick up some momentum themselves in recent weeks.
