Supercomputer predicts Liverpool vs Arsenal match

Arsenal travel to Anfield to take on European champions Liverpool in the fixture of the weekend

Before the start of the season BT Sport created The Script with the help of data experts at Google Cloud, Opta and Squawka.

The Script, simply explained, has attempted to predict every Premier League result in each game week from the start until the very end of the season.

Cutting edge ‘machine learning’ artificial intelligence, as BT Sport put it, is responsible for the predictions.

But of course football, a game filled with human error, red cards and injuries, has always been unpredictable, making The Script an interesting experiment.

Below are the predicted results for the third Premier League game week, including Liverpool’s tantalising clash with Arsenal.
Both the Reds and Gunners go into the match on the back of two straight wins in the Premier League so far this season.
Liverpool thumped Norwich 4-1 at Anfield on the opening day before beating Southampton 2-1 at St Mary’s.

Arsenal beat Newcastle 1-0 at St James’ Park in their opening day fixture before running out 2-1 winners over Burnley .

Liverpool are favourites to beat Arsenal this weekend, and this is reflected in The Script’s predictions for game week three.
