Having previously required favors from both in order to win the title, Manchester City now has things safely back in its own hands with six games to play.

The so-called 'supercomputer' models all swung wildly in favor of Manchester City after those defeats, with the Etihad outfit now considered heavy favorite to claim an unprecedented fourth consecutive title.

It is the same feeling I have in previous weeks when we draw against Arsenal and people say, 'no chance because of the computer.'

"The computer says this or that, I don’t know if the computer can play left back or right back , I don’t know how to discover that.

We have [difficult games] and both of them [Arsenal and Liverpool] have too."

The computer has been firmly in the firing line this week.

It's clickable shorthand for just about any prediction model (for example this one, which gives Liverpool a far higher chance), based to varying degrees on useful indicators like form, fixtures and almost invariably what the bookmakers think.

It goes without saying that these models are prone to churn out drastically different forecasts after unexpected results change the picture.

Just like most Liverpool fans would have expected to beat Crystal Palace, so too did the 'supercomputers'; the upset altered the equation, and now Manchester City is the heavy favorite, much to the apparent chagrin of Guardiola.

Naturally, the odds can be defied.

After all, the bookies (a key component of the calculations) made Manchester City big favorite at the start of the season, and here it is in the driving seat with just six games left; the statistics are rarely too far wrong.

Klopp has made a habit of defying those numbers with Liverpool.
