Arsenal win their remaining three matches in 24% of the simulations and in 81% of those simulations that is sufficient to win the league. The most likely outcome in the simulations is that Man City win three matches and draw one, finishing on 89 points; they do that in 21% of the simulations. Most likely outcome for Arsenal is that lose one match and win two, and that is good enough for the league title only in 32% of the simulations.

Three important matches in the CL race the coming week. Villa are playing Brighton, Liverpool and Crystal Palace in the remaining matches, and the most likely outcome is a win, draw and a loss (not necessarily in the order). That would mean that they finish on 71 points, which is enough for a CL spot in 92% of those simulations.

PL: League race becomes two-horse race

Liverpool are out (<1%) of the title race after losing too much ground. The title race is thereby a two-horse race, which Man City win two of three times. They finish on average with 2.3 points more than Arsenal. The most common outcome in the simulations is that Man City take 13 points in the last five games and then Arsenal have to win their remaining four games, which happen in 9% of the simulations.

In the race for CL, Aston Villa lost some grounds with a draw against Chelsea. Tottenham are still trailing 2.5 points behind Villa in the average outcome, but both teams have difficult schedules and the outcome is therefore uncertain.

Behind them, Man United, Newcastle and to some degree Chelsea are fighting over the second EL spot. Man United have the advantage that they can snatch through a win in the FGA cup final against Man City. Otherwise, it's a tight race and 60 points or high 50s will likely be needed to finish top 6. Chelsea, Brighton and West Ham are outsiders lurking behind but are more likely having a chance for the Conference League spot.
