Liverpool and Arne Slot are aiming to retain their Premier League crown(Image: Getty Images)

Liverpool have been tipped to retain their Premier League title by Opta's supercomputer with their algorithm giving the Reds a 28.5 per cent chance of going back-to-back for the first time.

Arne Slot's side won the title relatively unchallenged last term and those on Merseyside and now hoping to claim successive Premier League crowns for the first time ever.

In keeping with last season's table, Manchester City have been tipped to finish third.

Pep Guardiola's side have invested in a bid to return back to the summit of English football, but the Catalan will go two years without a title for the first time in England if Opta is to be believed.

However the Opta algorithm believes it will be another mid-table season for the Red Devils with 12th their predicted finish.

At the other end of the table the concerning Premier League trend may continue.

They remain behind the Red Devils with Opta handing them a finishing position of 14th - which is below Frank's former sider Brentford.

Despite the wholesale changes and the loss of one of their best players the Bees are tipped to finish in tenth, which represents an impressive year given the loss of talent they have had to deal with.

Nottingham Forest were the Premier League's surprise package but Opta has not backed them to replicate those lofty heights.
