A new supercomputer has tipped Arsenal and Manchester United to pick up easy wins this weekend, with Liverpool set to edge past Brentford.
The Gunners host Burnley on Saturday, with Mikel Arteta looking to get his side back on track after last week's controversial defeat to Newcastle. Meanwhile, United are coming off the back of an embarrassing defeat to Copenhagen in the Champions League.
Boss Erik ten Hag will be hoping they can put their struggles in Europe behind them against Luton at Old Trafford. But the Hatters will not be an easy test, after they came close to dealing out the shock of the season against Liverpool last Sunday.
The Reds were able to score an injury-time equaliser thanks to Luis Diaz, but Jurgen Klopp will be praying an easier afternoon awaits his side against the Bees. According to a supercomputer from BetVictor, they are the favourites to do just that.
The analysts use a formula that predicts how many goals each team will score in a match, before running 1,000 game simulations. That method found that Liverpool win 55.9 per cent of the time, with a draw marked at a 23 per cent likelihood and a Brentford win coming in at 21.1 per cent.
