Who runs furthest in the Premier League? James Milner has covered most ground

James Milner has covered more ground than any other Premier League player so far this season.

The Liverpool midfielder is renowned for his industrious play and the stats show he has clocked an incredible 74.8km (46.48 miles) in the Reds' six games this season.

That's the equivalent of just over 202 laps of the Anfield pitch.

Newcastle United's Jack Colback is second on the list (71.8km), followed by Bournemouth's Andrew Surman (70.8km).

West Ham shocked Manchester City on Saturday to move into the top three of the Premier League but there has been plenty of hard work behind their fast start - three of their players make the top 20 furthest runners list: Mark Noble (70.4km), Dimitri Payet (65.2km) and Aaron Cresswell (64.6km).

Everton also have three players in the top 20, with Gareth Barry (68.9km), James McCarthy (65.0km) and Ross Barkley (64.6km) putting in the hard yards for boss Roberto Martinez.
