In this article, it says Alireza Firouzja "retains a positive head-to-head record against Caruana, Vidit, and Nepomniachtchi." This literally couldn't be farther from the truth, as he actually has a negative record against all three. He's lost 5 games to Fabi and only won 1, while he lost to Nepo 4 times and won thrice, and he's never beaten Vidit who's beaten him twice. He also has a negative record against Nakamura. The only player he has a positive record against is Abasov, who he's beaten twice.

Oops, our bad. Fact check fail. The article's been revised with a correction. Thanks for raising it!

Putting Firouzja at the bottom of your list is quite funny for a player who has consistently finished within one point of 1st place in closed supertournaments, not to mention his Sinquefield win. With Caruana, Naka and Nepo in the tournament, a win is a tough call but he is the most capable outsider.
This is Hikaru's time to shine!
1st: Hikaru Nakamura (in his best form)
2nd: Ian Nepomniachtchi (qualified 2 times in a row, and he's out for blood. Third time is the charm)
3rd: Fabiano Caruana (the machine, might tie for 2nd)
4th: Alireza Firouzja (there is a reason why Magnus wanted to play him in the championship, might be the dark horse upset in the top half)
5th: R Praggnanandhaa (Bright future. Could tie for 4th)
6th: Gukesh D
7th: Nijat Abasov (don't underestimate the underdog. He beat Anish Giri [2745] to get here)
8th: Vidit Gujrathi
