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.
