Opta’s supercomputer, a machine so notable it was name-checked by Arsenal manager Arteta himself last week, still has them with a 79 per cent chance of finishing second, with City favourites to come third, Newcastle for fourth and barely anything to choose between Chelsea and Forest over who’ll complete the top five.

A memorable week of European semi-finals are in the books, and it's now full steam ahead with the remaining Premier League fixtures. While Arsenal crashed out in Paris, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Chelsea will all vie for continental glory at the end of the month.

Chelsea moved a step closer to Champions League qualification on Sunday by beating under-strength champions Liverpool 3-1 with a first-half strike from Enzo Fernandez, a ricocheted own-goal by Jarell Quansah and a Cole Palmer penalty.
