The **[Premier League](https://www.premierleague.com/en)** has always rewarded players who combine technical quality with relentless physical output. But which players have literally gone the extra mile in 2025/26? From tireless midfielders covering every blade of grass to full-backs and wide forwards who never stop running, the distance data from this season reveals some fascinating stories about the players powering their clubs through one of the most demanding leagues in world football.

Here is a comprehensive look at who has run the furthest — both across the full season and in individual matches — in the **Premier League** in 2025/26.

## Season Distance Leaders: Anderson and Garner at the Top

Heading the overall distance rankings through Matchweek 33 is **Nottingham Forest** midfielder **Elliot Anderson**. The 23-year-old is a perpetual motion machine, covering an extraordinary **364.54 kilometres** to date — a figure that reflects both his enormous work rate and his near-constant availability for Forest this season, having played **2,954 minutes** in the **Premier League**.

Close behind is **Everton’s** versatile **James Garner**, the newly-capped England international who has impressed in both midfield and at right-back this season. Garner has covered **362.06 km** — the only other player in the division to have surpassed the **360 km mark** in 2025/26.

| Player | Club | Distance (km) | Total Minutes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Elliot Anderson | Nottingham Forest | 364.54 | 2,954 |
| James Garner | Everton | 362.06 | 2,964 |
| Morgan Rogers | Aston Villa | 357.49 | 2,925 |
| Martin Zubimendi | Arsenal | 350.17 | 2,764 |
| Adrien Truffert | Bournemouth | 349.07 | 2,930 |
| Sander Berge | Fulham | 344.19 | 2,686 |
| Ethan Ampadu | Leeds | 341.86 | 2,673 |
| Declan Rice | Arsenal | 340.25 | 2,765 |
| Morgan Gibbs-White | Nottingham Forest | 339.80 | 2,819 |
| Jarrod Bowen | West Ham | 338.91 | 2,958 |

**Aston Villa’s** Morgan Rogers ranks third on **357.49 km**, while the top 10 is dominated by central midfielders and number tens — eight of the ten players in the list operate in those roles. The exceptions are **Bournemouth** left-back **Adrien Truffert** and **West Ham United** wide forward **Jarrod Bowen**, who have earned their places among the division’s hardest runners despite playing in different positions to the midfield majority.

## Arsenal’s Double Presence: Zubimendi and Rice

**Arsenal** are the only club with two players featured in the top ten distance runners this season. Midfield partners **Martin Zubimendi** (350.17 km) and **Declan Rice** (340.25 km) rank fourth and eighth respectively — a reflection of the enormous physical demands Mikel Arteta places on his central midfielders and the extraordinary consistency with which both players have delivered across the campaign.

Zubimendi edges his partner in terms of distance covered, having done so across slightly fewer minutes — **2,764** compared to Rice’s **2,765** — suggesting a marginally higher per-minute intensity. Together, they form one of the most physically demanding midfield pairings in the **EPL** this season.

## Single-Match Distance Records: Guimaraes Sets the Standard

If the season-long charts are dominated by midfielders renowned for their stamina, the single-match distance records tell an equally compelling story — and one that is heavily influenced by **Manchester City’s** remarkable Bernardo Silva.

**Bruno Guimaraes** holds the record for the longest distance covered in a single **Premier League** match this season. During Newcastle United’s thrilling **4-3 home win over Leeds United** on 7 January, the Brazilian covered an extraordinary **13.24 km** — a figure that underlines why he is considered one of the most complete central midfielders in the division. Guimaraes also scored in that classic contest, proving that his output was not merely about running but about running with purpose and effect.

| Player | Club | Distance (km) | Opponent | Date |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Bruno Guimaraes | Newcastle | 13.24 | Leeds | 07/01/2026 |
| Bernardo Silva | Man City | 13.13 | Nott’m Forest | 04/03/2026 |
| Pascal Gross | Brighton | 13.11 | Man City | 07/01/2026 |
| Bernardo Silva | Man City | 12.98 | Chelsea | 04/01/2026 |
| Phil Foden | Man City | 12.85 | Everton | 18/10/2025 |
| Bernardo Silva | Man City | 12.85 | Fulham | 02/12/2025 |
| Bernardo Silva | Man City | 12.84 | Liverpool | 08/02/2026 |
| Jack Hinshelwood | Brighton | 12.84 | Brentford | 21/02/2026 |
| Tomas Soucek | West Ham | 12.82 | Fulham | 04/03/2026 |
| Rodri | Man City | 12.79 | Nott’m Forest | 04/03/2026 |

**Bernardo Silva** and **Brighton’s** Pascal Gross are the only other players to have broken the **13 km barrier** in a single match this season. Silva reached the mark with **13.13 km** against Nottingham Forest in Matchweek 29, surpassing Gross’s **13.11 km** recorded against Manchester City on 7 January.

What is perhaps most remarkable is that **four of the top seven single-match distances recorded in the 2025/26 Premier League season belong to Bernardo Silva**. His appearances against Nottingham Forest (13.13 km), Chelsea (12.98 km), Fulham (12.85 km), and Liverpool (12.84 km) demonstrate a level of physical consistency across big matches that is almost without parallel in the division. It is a testament to the Portuguese midfielder’s extraordinary fitness, stamina, and relentless commitment to **Man City’s** collective demands — qualities that have defined his nine seasons at the Etihad Stadium.

## Key Takeaways

The distance data from the 2025/26 **Premier League** season reveals several clear patterns:

- **Central midfielders dominate** the season-long distance charts, reflecting the physical demands of the position and the pressing-based styles increasingly favoured across the division.
- **Nottingham Forest** lead the way with two players in the top ten — Anderson and Gibbs-White — highlighting the intense work rate Nuno Espírito Santo demands from his squad.
- **Manchester City** account for four of the top ten single-match distances, with Bernardo Silva’s name appearing four times — a remarkable individual achievement in the context of his expected departure at the end of the season.
- **Arsenal’s** double presence through Zubimendi and Rice underlines the physical foundation underpinning their title challenge.
