An Opta supercomputer has calculated that Liverpool's title hopes have taken a major hit following their 3-1 loss at Arsenal on Sunday.

The Reds entered the weekend clash on a run of four successive top flight wins, which included beating Chelsea 4-1 at Anfield just four days earlier.

They had a five-point cushion at the top of the table after that match, and Opta's supercomputer gave them a 42.1 per cent chance of winning the league to give Jurgen Klopp the perfect send-off as he prepares to leave Liverpool at the end of the season.
