With less than three weeks to go until Liverpool return to Premier League action, the fans are once again desperately waiting for another enjoyable campaign under Jurgen Klopp.
After years of success at Anfield, Sadio Mane has departed the club and has so left the Reds with a new-look front three of Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz.
It will be very interesting to see how Liverpool perform without one of their star men, but it doesn’t seem like supporters are too concerned.
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)...
5. Wolves - 5.9
Wolves had an up-and-down season last time out and ended up finishing mid-table, but fans definitely aren’t feeling very optimistic this time round. So far the Midlands club have brought in Nathan Collins from Burnley, while Hee-chan Hwang’s transfer became permanent. | Getty Images
6. AFC Bournemouth - 6
Given they are hot favourites to be relegated, Bournemouth fans aren’t quite as pessimistic as you would expect. The Cherries were last promoted in 2015 and spent another five years in the Premier League. | Getty Images
7. Leeds United - 6.2
After narrowly avoiding relegation last season, Leeds United have now sold their two best players in Raphinha and Kalvin Phillips and it’s no surprise that fans are feleling sceptical. | AFP via Getty Images
8. Aston Villa - 6.4
Despite the arrival of Diego Carlos and Boubacar Kamara, as well as the permanent signing of Philippe Coutinho, Aston Villa fans don’t appear to be too confident this season. | Getty Images
