Mauricio Pochettino may demand a lot from his Tottenham team in training, but it seems his rigorous regime is paying off - with statistics showing Spurs cover the most ground during Premier League matches after Bournemouth.

Tottenham’s players undergo at least one double training session per week, with the squad rarely given days off between Monday and Friday unless they have a midweek match.

"We’re doing far more work and compared with us, some players at other clubs are given a lot of days off," Spurs defender Ben Davies told Standard Sport last month. "But when the rewards arrive on the field, you are happy to come in and train every day."

And, according to stats from the EA SPORTS Player Performance Index, Tottenham have covered the second-highest distance in the top flight this term - 3,003.8KM - compared to first-placed Bournemouth, who have covered a distance of 3,060.6KM this season.

That translates out to 115.5KM on average per match for Pochettino's men while Eddie Howe's team cover an average distance of 117.7KM per Premier League game.

While Bournemouth's Dan Gosling is responsible for covering the most ground for the Cherries, Spurs' rising star Dele Alli has run the farthest for the team this season in a single game - covering 13.4KM during the club's win over Manchester City recently.

In contrast to Tottenham's impressive stats - which has played its part in the team sitting just two points off league leaders Leicester City - Crystal Palace are in 10th place in the stats for the highest distance covered during games (2,860.6KM), Arsenal find themselves in eighth position (2,871.5KM) while West Ham are the other London side to make the top 10, coming in sixth place with a season distance of 2,881.9KM.

Leicester come in seventh place (2,874.3KM) while Manchester United have run a total of 2,903KM this season (fifth place) and Liverpool slightly more with 2,910.2KM.
