Super-computer where Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man United, Newcastle United, Aston Villa and Tottenham will finish in Premier League table
The Gunners were back at the scene of their dismal 2-0 opening-day defeat last season which pre-empted their worst start to a campaign for 67 years.

“A lot of people described that day as embarrassing but I looked at it as a character-building day.
“You have to learn from those moments and then days like today happen. We are enjoying our football.”
Arsenal top the table as the top-flight action pauses for the last international break before the World Cup this autumn. Man City sit second after easing to a 3-0 win over Wolves while Tottenham Hotspur are level on points with Pep Guardiola’s side after defeating Leicester City on Saturday evening.
