According to a leading football simulator prediction, Jose Mourinho's team will win the
Premier League this season ahead Man City.
The simulator factored in the various injuries and suspensions EPL teams
have picked up since the game's initial release in November last year.
And it's Chelsea who emerged victorious, finishing three points clear of defending champions City in second place.
Manchester United, under the guidance of Louis van Gaal, came in third ahead of Liverpool in fourth.
This
would spell disaster for Arsenal, who finished fifth in the fantasy
table. If replicated in real life, it would Arsene Wenger's team missing
out on Champions League football for the first time in 18 years --
unless of course the London side win Europe's premier competition.
Arsenal faces Monaco in the last 16 next month with Chelsea and Manchester City also reaching the knockout stage.
Despite
their early season promise, and despite sitting pretty in third place
in the actual league table, Southampton's charge up the table will
stutter and end in a seventh-place finish, according to the game's
manufacturers Sports Interactive.
However,
there is better news for City when the January transfer window is
factored into the equation, a period during the season when European
clubs can add to their rosters.
The
Football Manager team ran a second simulation which included speculated
transfer targets for each team and in this version of the league it's
City who take the title from Chelsea on goal difference.
The makers of this simulator have
simulated the remaining matches of the 2014-15 campaign
