Man United given updated expected final finishing position in the Premier League by Opta supercomputer after their dire start... and three teams look almost certain for top four

Manchester United's chances of a top-four finish continue to plummet according to Opta's AI supercomputer.

Erik ten Hag's side suffered their fourth defeat in seven games with a shock 1-0 loss to Crystal Palace at Old Trafford - meaning this is their worst start to a season in 34 years.

Prior to the campaign beginning, Man United were given a 63.2 per cent chance of achieving a top four finish this season.

Following defeats to Tottenham and Arsenal, their prospect of a top-four finish dropped by 35 per cent.
