The Opta supercomputer has predicted the chances of Liverpool winning the league title following their dominant 4-0 victory over Bournemouth on Sunday.
Jurgen Klopp’s side restored their 5-point lead at the top of the table with a victory against the Cherries.
Although their main man, Mo Salah, was unavailable, the Reds cruised towards a comfortable victory at the Vitality Stadium.
Moreover, champions Manchester City still have a game in their hand as they sit second in the table. With both sides’ history, Liverpool fans know that a commanding lead of 5 points is not sufficient to win the title over Pep’s side.
