Ahead of the start of the next football season, leading academics have analysed data on a range of childhood health indicators. They have created a football league table ranking children’s health in the locations of the 20 men’s Premier League teams.

The two of the three clubs in the relegation zone are in the north west, including Liverpool and Everton. But there is a striking divide within Greater Manchester, pulling into sharp focus the impact of growing up in one of the region's wealthiest boroughs versus a more deprived area.
