Leeds United have been rated European contenders in an updated Premier League projection from Opta, following their 1-1 draw at Brighton that kept an unbeaten start intact.
Jayden Bogle struck in the first half, before Luka Vuskovic levelled. Leeds defended strongly to leave the Amex Stadium with a point.
Five points from three games represents a promising opening for Daniel Farke’s side, with optimism growing in West Yorkshire.
At the summit, Arsenal are projected 78 points with a 52.6% title chance, ahead of Manchester City on 72 and 27.1%.
Liverpool follow on 62 with 5.8%, with Chelsea at 60 and 3.8%.
Manchester United are forecast 57 points and a 2.9% shot at the crown. Newcastle United are put on 55, with a 20.6% probability of reaching the Champions League.
The projections also expect one established side to be relegated, while Leeds are backed to compete for Europe rather than fight survival.
