Opta’s supercomputer has predicted the winner of the Premier League title this season following Arsenal’s 2-1 loss to Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, April 11.
The Cherries took the lead in the 16th minute when Ryan Christie played a precise through ball to Adrien Truffert, whose deflected cross was volleyed home at the back post by Eli Junior Kroupi.
Arsenal were awarded a penalty after Gabriel Martinelli’s effort struck Christie’s arm, prompting referee Michael Oliver to point to the spot.

Viktor Gyokeres stepped up and converted, maintaining his perfect record from the spot in Arsenal colours to level the score in the 35th minute.
In the 74th minute, Alex Scott fired home from close range to restore Bournemouth’s lead. Arsenal nearly found a late equaliser in stoppage time, but Gyokeres dragged his effort wide.
Mikel Arteta’s side missed the chance to go 12 points clear of Manchester City ahead of their clash with Chelsea FC at Stamford Bridge.
The defeat has handed the advantage to City, who could take control of the title race if they win their two games in hand and secure victory over Arsenal in their upcoming meeting at the Etihad Stadium.
Pep Guardiola reacts before Chelsea's clash
Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola has admitted that Manchester City must collect more points to stay in the title race this season.

“Hopefully we can do a lot of points. The situation we’re in the Premier League, we need to do all of them otherwise it doesn’t give us a chance to be there at the end so we need to do a lot of points.
