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.
17. Chelsea - 7.5
Chelsea’s recent takeover has led to a lot of excitement at the club. Todd Boehly has so far invested very well in Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly and could also be on his way to snapping up Jules Kounde. | Getty Images
18. Newcastle United - 7.7
It comes as no surprise to see Newcastle fans are some of the most confident in the league this summer. The Magpies are preparing for their first full campaign since their takeover and are expected to perform much better than the first half of last season. | Getty Images
