Andi Weimann is the Aston Villa star most likely to be hauled off during matches - and is the third most subbed player in the Premier League.

Weimann has been withdrawn by Paul Lambert in 20 league games since the start of last season.

Only Fraizer Campbell (23) of Cardiff and now Crystal Palace and Newcastle's Yoan Gouffran (21) have seen their number flash up on the fourth official's board more than Weimann.

Palace's Marouane Chamakh and Adam Lallana of Southampton and now Liverpool are joint third with Weimann, having also been withdrawn 20 times.

The Trinity Mirror Data Unit have analysed every Premier League substitution made by clubs over the course of this and last season to see who gets brought off the most.

Karim El Ahmadi, who has now returned to Feyenoord, is Villa's second most subbed player since the start of the 2013014 campaign on 15 with Gabby Agbonlahor on nine.

Including last season at Fulham, Kieran Richardson has been subbed in six games while Ryan Bertrand, Libor Kozak and Aleksandar Tonev complete the top five on five subs each.
