The prediction of the supercomputer Opta, supported by AI technology, about Man Utd's victory over Sheffield United in round 9 of the Premier League at 02:00 on October 22 is said to be well-founded.

The 2-1 comeback win over Brentford in the 8th round of the Premier League has somewhat relieved the pressure on Man Utd. That is also the reason why the supercomputer Opta assessed that the chance of victory of Coach Ten Hag's team in the away match at Sheffield United (2am on October 22, Vietnam time) is up to 52.4%.
On the contrary, with only 1 point after 8 rounds, Sheffield United's chance of winning against the "Red Devils" is assessed at only 20.5%, and there is a 27.1% chance the match will end in a draw.
In the Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton taking place at 6:30 p.m. today (October 21, Vietnam time), coach Jurgen Klopp's team is rated higher in the ability to win all 3 points thanks to playing at home at Anfield, with a rate of 67%. Meanwhile, Everton's chance of winning is only 12.2%.
The Opta supercomputer's assessment is completely well-founded. Not only is it based on the fact that Liverpool have been in much better form than Everton this season, but according to statistics, in 25 matches against the same city team, the "Red Brigade" has only lost 1 match.
Another outstanding match in round 9 of the Premier League takes place between Chelsea and Arsenal at Stamford Bridge at 11:30 p.m. on October 21 (Vietnam time).
Mauricio Pochettino's side have had a shaky start but have shown some promising signs in recent weeks. Mikel Arteta's Gunners have made an encouraging start to the season, with Arsenal making a big splash in round 8 of the Premier League when they beat Man City.
The Opta supercomputer rates the two teams' chances of winning as almost equal (Arsenal have a 36.3% chance of winning, Chelsea 34.7%). The probability of this match ending in a draw is very high at 29%.
Meanwhile, reigning Premier League champions Man City have lost three of their last four games, but have a chance to resolve their "mini-crisis" at home to Brighton at 9pm tonight (Vietnam time).
The Opta supercomputer predicts a 68.8% chance of Man City winning against Brighton, while Brighton only has an 11.1% chance of taking all 3 points against the Etihad team. In the last 12 head-to-head matches, coach Pep Guardiola's team has won 10 matches.
Tottenham is also rated with a 51.8% chance of winning against Fulham. Coach Ange Postecoglou's team is showing impressive form with the top spot after 8 rounds (with 20 points like Arsenal but with a better goal difference).
