Everton are the most pessimistic fan base going into the 2022/23 Premier League campaign, a survey has found.
The Toffees narrowly escaped what would have been an embarrassing relegation to the Championship last season and following a less-than promising summer transfer window to date - their fans are seemingly feeling worried about a repeat.
The survey, that was completed by SkyBet, has ranked the responses of over 1,000 adults (18+) who support one of the 20 Premier League teams going into 22/23.
Unsurprisingly, the amount of business a certain team has done in the summer transfer window seems to have reflected on how positive or negative a fan base is feeling including Wolves, who away from former Burnley centre-back, Nathan Collins, are yet to add to their squad.
Each score was ranked 1-10 with 1 being not optimistic at all about a positive season to 10 being very optimistic.
The table is in reverse order and can be seen below.
