Supercomputer predicts 2019/20 EPL winners & top four following fixtures release

Manchester City are on course to be the first team to win three consecutive Premier League titles in over a decade - according to the first Supercomputer prediction of the new season.

In light of the Premier League fixtures being released this morning, SportNation.Bet has predicted the final 2019/20 table - looking at a number of variables including dates, derbies and previously placed positions.

Pep Guardiola's side look set to match Manchester United's feat of winning a hat-trick of league trophies as City enter the 2019/20 season as 5/7 favourites - an opening day fixture away to West Ham will get them off to a flying start having scored 12 goals in just three league games at the London Stadium.

However, all may not be plain sailing for the Blues this season - two daunting spells sees a tricky winter period against Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal in November and December before playing the same sides AGAIN in another five-week period in the spring.

United fans will not be pleased to see their side predicted to finish in fifth, outside of the Champions League places for the second season in a row. Ole Gunnar Soslkjaer's side slumped to a sixth-placed finish last season after a disappointing campaign.
