Opta’s AI supercomputer calls its predictions for week two results of the Premier League: Man United look set to lose at Tottenham… and only one team has a better chance than Newcastle!
The Opta AI supercomputer has submitted its result predictions for the second week of the Premier League, giving Liverpool the best chance of securing three points in their home leg against Bournemouth.
The same game last season saw the Reds win 9-0 effectively ending Scott Parker’s time with the Cherries, and Opta hasn’t given them much hope this year with only a 7.6 per cent chance of winning, while Liverpool’s chances of 75.8 percent.
Arsenal are the visiting team with the most hope as the computer gives them a 45.2 per cent chance of taking three points from Crystal Palace, the least rated home side with a 26.3 per cent chance of winning.
The Gunners have won four of their last five games in the league, most recently winning 4-1 in March.
Opta also backs Tottenham in their first win of the season at home against Manchester United, while Newcastle are the second least wanted side with an 11.1 per cent prediction of their win at the Etihad.

Eddie Howe’s men may have made it to the Champions League last season, but the computer is still heavily backing Man City (69 per cent) to secure a home win.
The reverse game at the start of last season was a thriller, with Newcastle taking a 3-1 lead before City took a point.
Despite being beaten 5-1 by the Magpies in their opening game, Aston Villa have a respectable (45.9 per cent) chance to win at home against Everton, who failed to score in their season opener against Fulham despite 19 shots on target.
Nottingham Forest are most likely to draw in their home game with Sheffield United (30.4 per cent), while Brighton are surprisingly close behind (30.2 per cent) ahead of their trip to Wolves.
Fulham’s clash with Brentford this weekend is expected to be one of the more even matches, with a home win (35.7 per cent), draw (29.4 per cent) and away win (34.9 per cent) all being relatively evenly matched.
The computer also seems unsure what to call Chelsea’s visit to West Ham, with the three results only 7.2 per cent difference.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side impressed when they drew 1-1 against Liverpool in their first game of the season and will be boosted by the arrival of Romeo avia and Moises Caicedo at the club.
The Hammers started their season with a hard-fought draw at Bournemouth and are hoping for a more convincing result in their first home game of 2023/24.
