Guardiola dismisses Haaland exit rumours: 'He's happy here at City’
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola pours cold water on Erling Haaland's exit rumours.
As the season progresses, a sports intelligence agency, Twenty First Group, has ventured to predict where each Premier League team will finish come the end of the campaign. Here's a breakdown of their predictions:
Title Contenders
Despite being five points behind current league leaders Liverpool, Twenty First Group believes that Manchester City has a 48 percent chance of winning their fourth consecutive Premier League title. Pep Guardiola's side is known for making late surges in the league, and they have been named the most likely team to finish at the top of the Premier League table.
)
Liverpool, are given a 36 percent chance of retaining their title and are the second favourites for the 2023/24 Premier League title according to Twenty First Group. The race at the top is expected to go down to the wire, with Arsenal also in contention.
)
Arsenal has emerged as a genuine title contender this season, with a 15 percent chance of winning the league. Mikel Arteta's side recently defeated Liverpool, narrowing the gap to just two points at the top of the table and could be shaping up for another title race at the tail end of the season.
European Hopefuls
Aston Villa has enjoyed a fantastic season, currently sitting fourth in the Premier League. Twenty First Group predicts a 74 percent chance of the club qualifying for the Champions League for the first time in their history. Despite their strong campaign, their chances of winning the title are rated at just one percent.
)
Manchester United's chances of breaking into the top-four this season are rated at a modest 14 percent. The Red Devils have struggled with a challenging season and have lost nine matches, making it an uphill battle to secure a Champions League spot.
)
Newcastle United has an eight percent chance of securing a return to the Champions League, while London giants Chelsea have been given a 3% chance of reaching the UCL, below Brighton and West Ham.
Relegation fighters
Despite being hit by a 10-point penalty and facing charges for breaching profit and sustainability rules, Twenty First Group predicts that Everton will leapfrog the relegation zone to safety.
Luton Town has shown resilience with a recent unbeaten streak, but Twenty First Group predicts they will still finish inside the relegation zone.
)
Burnley is in a precarious position, with an 88 percent chance of relegation according to the analytics agency. Their recent winless streak has put them in danger.
Sheffield United is facing almost certain relegation, with a mere one percent chance of survival, as per Twenty First Group's projections. Their struggles have made their Premier League future bleak.
)
As the Premier League season heads into its final stretch, these predictions offer an intriguing glimpse into how the table might shape up. However, the beautiful game often thrives on unpredictability, and fans can expect more twists and turns as the battle for the title and survival intensifies.
