With less than three weeks to go until the Premier League resumes, football fans are eagerly awaiting another campaign of excitement and drama.
A number of high profile signings have been made in the top tier and supporters have already been throwing this season’s predictions around.
After yet another Premier League title, Manchester City are continuing to feel on top of the world following the arrival of Erling Haaland.
Ahead of the new campaign, Sky Bet and YouGov have teamed up and completed a survey as part of their Fan Hopes campaign.
The research asked fans of each Premier League club a series of questions to determine how confident they were feeling about their team’s chances this time round.
As a result of the survey, we can see which fanbases are the most and least hopeful about the season ahead from a scale of 1-10 (1 being not optimistic at all, 10 being very optimistic).
Here is how the Premier League table will look if it was based on these ratings (from lowest to highest)...
