A new poll has been conducted to determine the teams in the English Premier League with the most attractive and ugliest fans.
According to the poll, Chelsea fans are the least attractive in the Premier League, with Manchester United not far behind.
United fans were deemed marginally more attractive than their Chelsea counterparts, but almost one in 10 fans (9 per cent) said they would actively avoid dating a Red Devils supporter.
However, teams from the south coast seem to be have far better looking fans, with Southampton trailing new-boys Bournemouth at the top of the table.
Expectedly, the poll conducted by dating site Match, showed that one in four Liverpool fans would never date an Evertonian.
Match quizzed 1,000 fans seeking to find the most attractive in the Premier League. Bournemouth topped the table with 58 per cent saying they would be happy to date a Cherries fan, while Manchester City, in fourth, are the highest ranked side in the title race.
Arsenal squeeze into the top 10, while Liverpool are in 13th, but United and Chelsea prop up the table.
However, when fans were asked for supporters they’d actively avoid dating all four of the traditional big clubs found themselves mentioned.
Kate Taylor, relationship expert for Match, said: “Football might be the beautiful game, but emotions can run high in sport.
“If you do accidentally fall for a rival fan you’ll both have to exercise tact during football season.
“No taunts when your team wins, no sulking when theirs does – and never ask your partner to swap teams for you, or you’re sure to find yourself being substituted.”
