ARSENAL fans have been left reeling after a supercomputer predicted their Premier League crunch match against Manchester City.
The Gunners face the Citizens at the Etihad Stadium tomorrow night in what could be a title-deciding fixture.
Arsenal are five points ahead of Man City but have played two more games than their hosts.
If they lost, the Citizens would have the advantage heading into the final Premier League fixtures.
And Opta's supercomputer has predicted that to be the case.
The system has suggested that Pep Guardiola's side have a 62.6 per cent chance of winning the clash.

While Mikel Arteta's title chasers have only been given a 15.1 per cent chance of claiming the vital three points.
But the supercomputer has estimated that is Man City win the tie, than their chances of retaining the Premier League title will be significantly boosted.
The Citizens will see their chances of lifting the trophy at the end of the season increase to 91 per cent.
If Arsenal win though, it is still suggesting that the race will be a tight one, with them only having a 51 per cent chance of going on to win the league.
