Data experts make staggering Premier League top-four prediction for Brighton, Man United, Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea, Man City and Liverpool

The Seagulls enjoyed an emphatic 5-2 victory last Sunday against struggling Leicester as they maintained fourth place in the table.

Potter's men have 13 points from six matches and are one point and one place above Erik ten Hag's improving Man United and just below third placed Tottenham.

Brighton's fast start has been all the more impressive as they lost key players Yves Bissouma, Marc Cucurella in the summer window but they have brought in Ecuador international Pervis Estupinan for £15m and Billy Gilmour from Chelsea for £9m to improve Potter's options.

Brighton will have to go some to keep pace with the established elite as table topping Arsenal, who suffered their first defeat of the campaign at Man United last Sunday, look strong, while an Erling Haaland inspired Man City will also take some stopping – despite them dropping two points to Aston Villa last weekend.

Antonio Conte's Spurs are also in with a great chance this term as the club have added depth and quality to their squad.
