Pep Guardiola reached 1,000 games in his managerial career and celebrated it with a big 3-0 win over struggling Premier League champions Liverpool.

Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur settled for a 2-2 draw, while Aston Villa crushed AFC Bournemouth 4-0 to move into the top six.
Nuno Espírito Santo’s West Ham made it two consecutive wins as they gradually battled their way out of the relegation zone and are level on points with 17th-place Burnley.
Supercomputer predicts final Premier League table
According to The Analyst, Opta's supercomputer’s prediction remains in favour of Arsenal to lift the Premier League trophy in May 2026.
The prediction gives Mikel Arteta’s side a 63.60% chance to win the title for the first time in 22 years as the only team which is likely to cross 80 points this season.
Manchester City moved into second place after beating Liverpool, and now has a 22.94% chance of winning the title, possibly denying Arsenal the chance to win the title for the third time in four years.
