We ran the north London derby and Soccer Saturday Super 6 line-up through the latest version of Football Manager, and it produced some dramatic results.
The nation's most popular football management game is forecasting another goal fest between Arsenal and Tottenham, live on Sky Sports Premier League from 11.30am on Saturday, plus Manchester City continue to run riot and West Brom and Chelsea play out a five-goal thriller.
Here's what happened when seven selected games from this Saturday were run through Football Manager 2018...
Arsenal 2-2 Tottenham (Saturday, 12.30pm, live on Sky Sports Premier League)
The Gunners come flying out of the blocks thanks to goals from Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil in the 11th and 22nd minutes in front of a packed Emirates Stadium.
However, Dele Alli strikes back in the 37th minute and, despite Mousa Dembele limping off injured, Harry Kane steps up to salvage a point for Spurs in the 77th minute.
Arsene Wenger is left to rue not only losing a two-goal lead but also failing to make the most of having twice the amount of shots as the visitors, who also had Davinson Sanchez booked in an otherwise relatively disciplined derby.
Bournemouth 1-0 Huddersfield (Saturday, 3pm)
The Cherries continue their recent resurgence with a second successive 1-0 victory thanks to Callum Wilson's 13th-minute strike.
Eddie Howe's men had twice as many shots on target and 14 attempts overall to their visitors' eight, while cards were also plentiful, with no less than five bookings handed out.
Burnley 2-0 Swansea (Saturday, 3pm)
Chris Wood sweeps aside the jetlag from Wednesday's World Cup Qualifier play-off with New Zealand to bag a match-winning double against Swansea.
It was a well-earned victory for the Clarets as they fired six of their 19 shots on target while enjoying 63 per cent of possession, although they did lose Ashley Barnes to injury, with Renato Sanches also limping off for Swansea.
Crystal Palace 3-1 Everton (Saturday, 3pm)
Wilfried Zaha scored either side of half-time to heap further misery on Everton and secure Crystal Palace their second win of the season.
Wayne Rooney had given the Toffees the lead after just four minutes, but Zaha found the net either side of Andros Townsend's 37th-minute effort to ease the Eagles' relegation worries.
Leicester 0-3 Manchester City (Saturday, 3pm)
Pep Guardiola's men made it 10 successive wins to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League thanks to a first-half blitz.
Leroy Sane opened the scoring after just eight minutes and wrapped up the win in the 21st minute, five minutes after Sergio Aguero had doubled their lead.
Liverpool 2-1 Southampton (Saturday, 3pm)
It was a comfortable afternoon for Liverpool but for a nervy final five minutes after substitute Charlie Austin gave Southampton hope.
However, Philippe Coutinho's 15th-minute opener and Fraser Forster's 25th-minute own goal were enough to see Jurgen Klopp's side secure the victory.
West Brom 2-3 Chelsea (Saturday, 3pm)
Chelsea also held on for a narrow victory in a five-goal thriller at The Hawthorns. Willian opened the scoring after 16 minutes, but the game really opened up in the second half.
Nacer Chadli levelled in the 54th minute before quickfire efforts from Alvaro Morata and Cesc Fabregas just before the hour mark, although the visiting fans were subjected to a tense finale following Matt Phillips' strike in the 76th minute.
