The Opta supercomputer has confirmed that Arsenal are no longer favourites to win a maiden Champions League title after their dreary 1-1 draw against Leverkusen on Wednesday night. All six Premier League sides finished in the top 12, with Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham and Chelsea placing in the top six. Arsenal made up most of that number, at 26.7 per cent, with Liverpool (11.4) and City (11.1) also considered serious contenders. But this latest round of results left not a single English side recording a win and, with 16 goals shipped, English teams conceded more goals than ever before in a single Champions League gameweek. Meanwhile Chelsea now sit at 0.50 per cent, with Tottenham given just a 0.05 per cent chance of winning it.
