Premier League fixtures: Super computer predicts Arsenal misery, Man Utd to BEAT Chelsea
THE Premier League season is fast drawing to a close, but the race for Champions League football is still in full flow.
Liverpool and Manchester City have already sealed their places in next season’s European Cup, with Tottenham looking odds on to finish in third place.
The final Champions League spot, however, is still up for grabs.
Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United are all vying for fourth spot, which is currently occupied by the Blues.
But come the end of the weekend, they’ll find themselves in fifth place.
That’s according to Football Web Pages’ super computer, which has predicted Chelsea to lose their crunch clash with Manchester United.
Maurizio Sarri’s side will apparently suffer a 2-1 defeat to the Red Devils, who have lost seven of their last nine matches.
Chelsea’s defeat to United will be compounded by Arsenal picking up a point against Leicester at the King Power Stadium.
Although a point against Leicester will be enough to take them into fourth place, provided Chelsea lose to United, it will extend the Gunners’ winless run to three matches.

Elsewhere in the table, title-chasing Manchester City have been predicted to return to the summit of the table with a 1-0 victory over Burnley at Turf Moor.
Tottenham will also solidify their hold on third place with a 2-0 win over West Ham, while Fulham, Southampton and Watford have all been backed to beat Cardiff, Bournemouth and Wolves respectively.
Should United fail to get a point against Chelsea, who they currently trail by three points, their hopes of Champions League football will go up in smoke.
United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is well aware of the magnitude of the match, saying: “Sunday is a massive one.
“Sunday is something that we have to get ready for, the crowd has got to get ready for, the players have got to get ready for.
“Of course we have analysed them and let’s just make sure we turn up on Sunday with the same attitude and a little bit more quality in front of goal.
“Hopefully we can get the win everyone here wants and the fans deserve, the players deserve.
“They have made a terrific effort to give us a chance with three games to go to be in the top four.”
