United lead the club charts

Manchester United may sit 13th in the Premier League table with four points from four matches, but FanTribe's registration data paints a very different picture of their support: 56 registered fans, more than any other club on the platform.

The leading Premier League clubs, according to FanTribe's registration data:

  • Manchester United — 56
  • Arsenal — 35
  • Chelsea — 25
  • Manchester City — 18
  • Liverpool — 16

Tottenham Hotspur and Nottingham Forest currently count one registered fan apiece.

Form against fan power

According to the Premier League table, United have won one, drawn one and lost two of their opening four matches, scoring seven and conceding seven. Arsenal lead the division with a perfect 12 points from four games — eight scored, one conceded — ahead of Manchester City on goal difference, and they pair first place in the table with second place in the fan charts.

City, also with four wins from four and 12 points, count 18 registered fans, placing them fourth among Premier League clubs. Chelsea's 25 fans put them third among top-flight clubs while the table has them fifth on seven points, and Liverpool's 16 fans come alongside seventh place on six points.

Further down, the disconnect runs deeper: Hull City, third in the table and unbeaten with eight points, and Brighton & Hove Albion, fourth with 13 goals scored, are among the clubs yet to register a single fan on the platform, according to FanTribe's data. Tottenham, 17th with two points, have yet to score in four matches and count one registered fan — as do 12th-placed Nottingham Forest.

Kenya out in front

The most striking numbers sit at country level. FanTribe's country leaderboard shows Kenya well clear at the top with 143 registered fans, ahead of Nigeria on four, with Brazil, Tanzania, Egypt, South Korea and Andorra registering one fan apiece.

Kenyan clubs feature prominently as a result. Bandari and Gor Mahia each count 22 registered fans, AFC Leopards have 12, Kenya Police and Ulinzi Stars have four apiece, and Tusker have three.

A growth story to watch

The early-season picture is clear: support on FanTribe does not yet mirror the Premier League table. United's sluggish start has not dented their standing as the platform's best-supported club, and Arsenal's perfect opening has not yet closed the gap in registered fans.

Whether Kenya tightens its grip on the country leaderboard, and whether on-pitch form begins to pull fans towards the division's front-runners, is something the numbers will reveal as the season goes on.
