Supercomputer predicts final Premier League table with critical drop for Man Utd despite win over Burnley
A SUPERCOMPUTER has predicted the final Premier League table... and it's bad news for Manchester United.
supercomputer, BETSiE, ran its algorithm after this past weekend's results.
The supercomputer simulated the Premier League season 100,000 times, taking into account all match results from last season, pre-season and current form.
And despite United's recent win over Burnley, they have slipped down from fifth to sixth in the virtual prediction.
It means they would drop out of the Champions League qualification spots.
Tottenham, Newcastle, Arsenal and Liverpool make up the rest of the top flight European places with City tipped to retain their title.

"This might be a theme now by the looks of it. I can't answer any of that, the game, the players, my department, yeah no problem, but things like that you are asking the wrong man."
Ex-Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder is a leading candidate to replace Heckingbottom at Bramall Lane.
