Ireland is Liverpool, the midlands is United with pockets of Arsenal resistance in Cork, Tipp and Mayo

We might regard ourselves as a nation of bandwagon jumpers, but Chelsea and Man City lag well behind in Ireland on Twitter’s new Premier League support index.

The overall breakdown in Ireland is along expected lines: Liverpool (25.65%), Man United (23.20%) and Arsenal (11.86%).
