After finishing third going into the international break, Manchester City is expected to bounce back strongly, while despite defeating Brentford, Man United is expected to stay in the middle of the league.
Despite their Sunday loss to Arsenal, a supercomputer has still picked Manchester City to win the Premier League for a fourth straight season, while Manchester United’s victory over Brentford did little to change their anticipated final standing.
