On Thursday, two of the quickest players in the Premier League went head-to-head in the icy conditions at the Emirates.

Manchester City speedster Leroy Sane battled both the ‘Beast from the East’ and Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin, no slouch himself.

Both players are blessed with blistering pace and it was an intriguing contest, with Sane coming out on top in the 3-0 win for Pep Guardiola’s men.

But it got us thinking here at talkSPORT, just who has been the fastest player in the Premier League this season?

Stats legends Opta and Chryon Hego have calculated the top speeds of every Premier League player, by using the following method: ““The speed in kilometers per hour (km/h) for a given frame is based on the previous 15 frame-to-frame speeds.

“Out of the 15 frame-to-frame speeds the 4 highest and the 4 lowest values are discarded and the result is an average of the remaining 7 values.”
