Chelsea clinched top 4 and Man United are missing. Also, Tottenham have virtually clinched top 4, but Arsenal have a 0.05% probability to catch the 3-point and 8-goal margin.

We give Man City 73% to win the title. We predict Man City have 66% chance to win the last match against Brighton, which would mean the title. If they don't win, they need to rely on Wolves stealing points from Liverpool (20%).


Liverpool

CL: Predictions after 1st leg semifinals


Our simulations give Liverpool 4% chance to turn around the semifinal against Barcelona, while Toittenham have just below 40% chance. The latter probably an overestimate as the model doesn't take into account injuries, recent form, et cetera.

How the probability of winning CL has evolved over the knockout-stage for the final four teams.
