Liverpool have taken over from Stoke City as the Premier Leagues nosiest supporters, according to unofficial research by the website Peter's Fan Chants. The Potters have been famously dubbed the Premier League's loudest fans ever since Sky Sports measured the noise levels in every ground in 2008.
On this evidence Stoke can expect to make more noise than Manchester City during Saturday's FA Cup final, Wembley's.
Michael Dennis, Peter's Fan Chants managing director said: "While this survey is not scientific, we have taken a series of measurements on the terraces of each club's home ground and averaged this out across games and the season.
"Contrary to what you might expect with its much larger ground, Manchester City fans are quieter at 71 decibels than Stoke City (83 decibels).
"But Wembley Stadium, acoustically, doesn't help the fans and they sound muted compared to their home ground terraces.
"But because each club is allocated roughly the same number of tickets, both sets of supporters will have a level playing field and the opportunity to demonstrate that they are the loudest."
Full table, according to Peter's Fan Chants:
1 Liverpool 97 decibels
2 Man Utd 94
3 Aston Villa 89
4 Everton 86
5 Blackpool 85
6 Stoke 83
7 Newcastle 82
8 West Ham 81
9 Chelsea 80
10 Sunderland 80
11 Arsenal 77
12 Wigan 72
13 Man City 71
14 Tottenham 70
15 Blackburn 67
16 Birmingham 70
17 Bolton 69
18 Wolves 69
19 West Brom 67
20 Fulham 65
