He just needs to hope that Thomas Tuchel is as impressed.<\/p>\n<h2>9) Dominik Szoboszlai (Liverpool) \u2013 325km<\/h2>\n<p>Liverpool\u2019s best player this season by a million miles has also run 17 miles further than any Reds team-mate, with Ryan Gravenberch next among Arne Slot\u2019s most industrious.<\/p>\n<h2>8) Jarrod Bowen (West Ham) \u2013 327km<\/h2>\n<p>Two of Bowen\u2019s three busiest performances of the season came in March, running around 11km against Fulham and Manchester City while West Ham attempt to graft their way to safety.<\/p>\n<h2>7) Declan Rice (Arsenal) \u2013 328km<\/h2>\n<p>Bowen cracked the 12km barrier once this season against Manchester City at the Emirates. He\u2019ll have to chase just as hard at the Etihad after dropping from fifth in this list in March.<\/p>\n<h2>6) Martin Zubimendi (Arsenal) \u2013 333km<\/h2>\n<p>Zubimendi chooses a slow and steadier approach to Rice, getting around in his own sweet time. Rice has done 31.7km at more than 20km\/h compared to Zubimendi\u2019s 24.8km.<\/p>\n<h2>5) Adrian Truffert (Bournemouth) 335km<\/h2>\n<p>The Bournemouth left-back has covered most distance in sprints (over 25km\/h) and most at high speed (between 20-25km\/h).<\/p>\n<p><smartframe-embed customer-id=\"1ffbae35d432d0d71911ca2a0b209fbb\" image-id=\"prsiRVLfsokz\" style=\"width: 100%; display: inline-flex; max-width: 100%;\"\/><\/p>\n<h2>4) Sander Berge (Fulham) \u2013 340km<\/h2>\n<p>The Fulham midfielder is getting around \u2013 but at his own pace. Berge has covered less ground with sprints or at high speed than anyone on this list while screening Marco Silva\u2019s defence.<\/p>\n<h2>3) Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa) \u2013 348km<\/h2>\n<p>If Thomas Tuchel is looking for more reasons to pick Rogers over Jude Bellingham, the stats back up the Villa midfielder\u2019s claim to be the more athletic of the pair, even if the difference between La Liga and the Premier League perhaps make it an unfair comparison.<\/p>\n<h2>2) James Garner (Everton) \u2013 348km<\/h2>\n<p>The 24-year-old\u2019s engine means he can slot into the busiest positions on the pitch \u2013 centre-midfield and full-back. We thought United made a mistake letting Garner leave so easily. They could use him now.<\/p>\n<h2>1) Elliot Anderson (Nottingham Forest) \u2013 350km<\/h2>\n<p>Manchester United may or may not be dazzled by Anderson\u2019s energy but here\u2019s another chart to knock Jason Wilcox\u2019s socks off\u2026<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-894045\" src=\"https:\/\/d2x51gyc4ptf2q.cloudfront.net\/content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/15145057\/Casemiro-Elliot-Anderson-comparison-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"899\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2x51gyc4ptf2q.cloudfront.net\/content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/15145057\/Casemiro-Elliot-Anderson-comparison-2.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/d2x51gyc4ptf2q.cloudfront.net\/content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/15145057\/Casemiro-Elliot-Anderson-comparison-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d2x51gyc4ptf2q.cloudfront.net\/content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/15145057\/Casemiro-Elliot-Anderson-comparison-2-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/d2x51gyc4ptf2q.cloudfront.net\/content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/15145057\/Casemiro-Elliot-Anderson-comparison-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d2x51gyc4ptf2q.cloudfront.net\/content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/15145057\/Casemiro-Elliot-Anderson-comparison-2-1536x863.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/d2x51gyc4ptf2q.cloudfront.net\/content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/15145057\/Casemiro-Elliot-Anderson-comparison-2-1320x742.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/d2x51gyc4ptf2q.cloudfront.net\/content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/15145057\/Casemiro-Elliot-Anderson-comparison-2-638x358.jpg 638w, https:\/\/d2x51gyc4ptf2q.cloudfront.net\/content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/15145057\/Casemiro-Elliot-Anderson-comparison-2-712x400.jpg 712w, https:\/\/d2x51gyc4ptf2q.cloudfront.net\/content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/15145057\/Casemiro-Elliot-Anderson-comparison-2-496x280.jpg 496w, https:\/\/d2x51gyc4ptf2q.cloudfront.net\/content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/15145057\/Casemiro-Elliot-Anderson-comparison-2-750x422.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\"\/><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<p><script>\n        !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n        {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n        n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n        if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n        n.queue=();t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n        t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)(0);\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n        'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n        fbq('init', '1399787394855675');\n        fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    <\/script><script>\n        !function(e,n,t){var o=e.getElementsByTagName(n)(0);e.getElementById\n    <\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elliot Anderson has covered more ground than any other player in the Premier League this season, topping a list featuring two Arsenal stars\u2026 The Forest [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":576,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-575","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arsenal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/esport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/575","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/esport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/esport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=575"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/esport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/575\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/576"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/esport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=575"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=575"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=575"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
