Liverpool returned to the top of the Premier League in dramatic style on Sunday as they beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 courtesy of a last-gasp own goal.

Yet will Jurgen Klopp's men stay there until the end of the season?

Silver, a leading data analyst who was named one of the world's 100 most influential people after correctly calling the outcomes of both the 2008 and 2012 US election, has a background in sports data.

His website has created a model that predicts the likelihood of what will happen at the end of the season.

They have claimed that Manchester City will pip the Reds to the title by a single point.

Spurs are predicted to finish third, with a 63 per cent likelihood of making the top four, with Arsenal fourth, level on points with them but with a 60 per cent chance of finishing in the Champions League qualification places.

Chelsea, with a 42 per cent chance of making the top four, are predicted to finish fifth, just a point off Spurs and Arsenal, with Manchester United in sixth.
