[엑스포츠뉴스 김희웅 인턴기자] The chaotic 2020/21 season English Premier League (EPL). Which team is the last team to laugh about?
Currently, the EPL cannot be predicted even a step ahead. With the turnaround point, Manchester City is leading the way with 41 points. Below that, Manchester United (40 points), Leicester City (39 points), and Liverpool (37 points) are chasing Man City. The ranking may change even with the result of one match.
In this situation, the recent momentum of Man City is unusual. Man City is very strong with 26 points and 2 runs, undefeated in 11 EPL games (9 wins, 2 draws). Thanks to the recent uptrend, it ranked first in 19 league games.
On the other hand, Manchester United, who had been in the lead until then, was struck by Sheffield United at the bottom. Manchester United also ran undefeated in 13 games (10 wins and 3 draws) before losing to Sheffield, and the flow was good. Defending champion Liverpool succeeded in rebounding after defeating Tottenham 3-1 on the 29th, after continuing poor performance in five games (3 draws, 2 losses).
Looking at these points, this season’s EPL often has the strongest team kneeling down against the weak team, and the team that was doing well has turned into an instant.
What is the prediction of the supercomputer in the current situation? On the 29th (Korean time), the British media sports bible unveiled’the final ranking predicted by the supercomputer after the most recent match result came out’. The ranking was different from what was previously expected of the supercomputer. However, what has not changed is that Man City is expected to dominate the league.
According to Supercomputer’s prediction, Man City was at the top of the leaderboard. Man City was expected to win the trophy with 85 points in 38 matches. Currently, Man City has 41 points in 19 matches. I thought it would breathe fire in the second half rather than the first half.
Second place was Liverpool. It is currently in fourth place, but I thought it would gain victory points in the second half. The final expected victory point is 75 points, and it is expected to be 12 points different from the first place Man City.
Man United, currently second, was in third, and Leicester, who was third, was in fourth. Tottenham, who even talked about winning at the beginning of the season, was in 5th place, and Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea was predicted to take 6th place. Everton and Arsenal were in 9th and 10th respectively.
The 3 teams in the relegation zone are the same as they are now, but their positions have changed little by little. Fulham thought it would remain at 18th, the current ranking, but expected West Bromwich, 19th, and Sheffield last, to be reversed.
