Opta's Supercomputer has predicted Liverpool will claim their first Premier League title since 2019/20 in Arne Slot's first season on Merseyside.

Very few would have tipped Liverpool to make such a positive start to life under Slot given the fact he was faced with the task of filling the sizeable shoes of a departing Jurgen Klopp.

However, the Dutchman's instant impact at Anfield has seen them top the league after 11 games with a five-point buffer on second place going into the November international break.

With nine victories, one draw and only a single defeat, Slot's Liverpool have conceded the least in the league this season and have scored the joint-third most goals thus far.

It's form that Opta says has positioned Liverpool in the box seat to end Manchester City's four-year reign as champions, with a 60.32 per cent chance of bringing the title back to Anfield. In doing so, Slot would become the fifth manager to win the Premier League in their maiden season.

But despite a stunning start, Liverpool's title bid is anticipated to yield the least amount of points a champion has earned for nearly 10 seasons. With 85 points predicted as the total return for the Reds, they wouldn't make the top two in 50 per cent of the last eight seasons.

Liverpool are forecast to pip Manchester City who are in second while Arsenal, who are hoping to end a two-decade-long wait for league glory, are in third in the predicted table.
