Premier League, R22 (12-14 Jan)

What neutral doesn’t want Liverpool to win the league? Compared to the massive wealth and resources available to Man City, surely Liverpool are the archetypal underdogs that we can all get behind (no tongue in cheek).
On Monday, Man City welcome Wolves to part of their estate. Despite Wolves having sunk Liverpool and Spurs in recent matches, the Model still gives City a 68% chance of 3 points, and a most likely scoreline of 2-1 (14%).
Liverpool play two days earlier, travelling to the South coast to face Brighton. Interestingly, the Model only just gives Liverpool the edge in this one, and suggests the most likely outcome is 0-0 (10%).
But… don’t forget about Spurs. They are still in the title race, but probably need a win at home to Manchester Utd this weekend. A month ago the Model probably would have given this one to Spurs comfortably, but now only gives them approximately a 50:50 chance of beating Utd, with the most likely scoreline 2-1 (8%):
