Idk, I feel like if it's total population of zones almost everywhere is at a disadvantage to London. If it's champions style and there's a set number of people in the brawl, definitely 13.
10 has Liverpool, Manchester and Leeds. I reckon the only real challenge would be 13 but combining forces they could take Glasgow and then pick of any lone Highland madman.
10 has a huge numerical advantage over Glasgow, and we could counter their casuals with Mancunian spiceheads. The scousers could be a liability or an asset, but then someone has to stand at the front and get mown down by the initial Highland berzerker charge.

A phalanx of Bootle smackheads would be like trying to punch through a horde of the zombies. No weapons for headshots means the Scots would wear themselves out. If they bought a supply of methadone, they'd probably be able to turn a few too.
That was largely done with good old bribing people to be on your side, its also how we got the British empire as it basically started with paying various groups in India to fight eachother which is what allowed the British to conquer a nation that was far wealthier and more powerful at the time.
