Did some research & according to random surveys that I'm sure carry no statistical significance...
Liverpool fans say their biggest rival is:
Man United 72%
Everton 22%
Chelsea 5%
Arsenal 1%
Manchester United fans say their biggest rival is:
Liverpool 65%
Man City 20%
Arsenal 10%
Leeds United 5%
Since everything in Brit-land is so compact, geographical rivalries aren't like they are here in the U.S.
If you live in Boston, you hate all New York teams. If you live in L.A., you hate everything Frisco, etc.
Sure you have Spurs-Arse-Chelsea in London, but other than that, not so much.
Look at a map and Southampton and Bournemouth are right next to each other, but I don't believe fans of either team consider the other their rival..
