FAVORITE IS ARSENAL AGAIN: CHAMPIONSHIP PERCENTAGES CHANGED

Following a breathtaking weekend fixture full of surprise results in the English Premier League, the balances and statistical probabilities in the championship race have been completely reshaped. According to the data updated immediately after the matches by the leading sports prediction and data platform PolymarketSport, the defending champion of the league, Arsenal, continues to be the absolute number one favorite to protect its title compared to its rivals. According to the current figures announced, Mikel Arteta's students increased their championship probability from 54 percent to 57 percent as a reflection of their wonderful performance on the pitch. With this increase, the North London team, which thoroughly cemented its place at the top, also widened the gap with its closest rival in the rankings. In the second step of the ranking is Arsenal's relentless pursuer, Manchester City. Pep Guardiola's team also managed to stay in the race by increasing its chances from 27 percent to 29 percent after the weekend. While the two biggest candidates for the summit continued their way by increasing their probabilities, a serious decline was observed in the other ambitious teams of the race. The championship probability of Chelsea, which entered the season with big budgets and high hopes, fell from 10 percent to 6 percent after they failed to fully reflect the desired game on the field. Liverpool, the deep-rooted club in the last place of this elite quartet, created a great disappointment by not being able to prevent its 6 percent championship chance from dropping to 3 percent. The ranking is clearly set as follows sequentially: first Arsenal (57%), second Manchester City (29%), third Chelsea (6%), and fourth Liverpool (3%).
