The Opta SuperComputer has updated its predictions on the Premier League title race following a dramatic day of fixtures on Wednesday.

Bukayo Saka’s first-half goal was enough for Arsenal to win 1-0 at Brighton.

The result also means the Gunners have increased their lead at the top of the table to seven points.

This follows Manchester City’s 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest at the Etihad.

Opta has now increased the probability of Arsenal winning the title to 92.84%.

City, who have a game in hand, now have a 7.16% chance.

Manchester United and Aston Villa, who both lost to Newcastle United and Chelsea respectively, have seen their chances pegged at zero.
