"Ten weeks into the Premier League season, Arsenal boast a six-point buffer at the top of the table, with two familiar rivals giving chase. They are Manchester City and Liverpool, who are only separated by a single point in second and third, respectively. Both Pep Guardiola and Arne Slot will know there is little margin for error when they go head-to-head at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday, following encouraging Champions League victories for both teams in midweek."
"Liverpool followed up their 2-0 Premier League win over Aston Villa with an impressive 1-0 triumph over Real Madrid, while City routed Borussia Dortmund 4-1. And in Erling Haaland and Mohamed Salah, both teams have a player eyeing a place in the Premier League record books. The Opta supercomputer is siding with City ahead of Sunday's match, but not by a decisive margin. City won 46.9% of the supercomputer's 10,000 pre-match simulations, with 26.7% going Liverpool's way and the remaining 26.4% finishing all square."

Season simulations rate Arsenal as 71.5% favorites for the title, City 13.5% and Liverpool 9.7%.
