Arsenal are more popular in west London than Chelsea, according to a new report.

Sky Sports compiled a list of the most watched Premier League teams across the UK, analysing the viewing patterns of 500,000 homes in 188 different postcodes.

And the Gunners were comfortably the most popular team in the capital. They were the most watched team in north London, north-west London, east London, south-east London, south-west London and west London.

Arsene Wenger's side also dominated the south-east of England and parts of the south-west.

Manchester United came top in the highest number of regions (48). Arsenal were the second most popular with 33. They were followed by Liverpool (21), Chelsea (8), Newcastle (2), Leicester City (2), Swansea (1) and West Brom (1).

In addition to Arsenal's dominance in Chelsea's supposed heartland, there were a number of surprise results.

Jose Mourinho's men were the most watched team in Scotland while Leicester were the most watched team in the Outer Hebrides.
