10 Mohamed Diame – Newcastle – 131.14km In at ten is Mohamed DiameGetty Images - Getty

This Senegalese power-house gets us off and running.
The former West Ham midfielder drives well with the ball and is a Daddy long-legs meaning one step for him is two for everyone else.

9 Granit Xhaka – Arsenal – 131.59km The Swiss is enjoying his best form at ArsenalGetty - Contributor

Granit Xhaka has frustrated Arsenal fans since his arrival, yet the Switzerland international appears to have found some form under new boss, Unai Emery.

Having played at left-back this season, as well as midfield – you can see why the versatile 26-year-old makes it in at nine.

8 Wilfred Ndidi – Leicester City – 131.71km Ndidi has impressed The Foxes this yearGetty - Contributor

Young Wilfred Ndidi was brought in to Leicester City to replace N’Golo Kante – no mean feat.

While the 21-year-old will probably never mirror the now Chelsea midfielder – He is certainly running the hard yards like Kante used to at the King Power.

7 Philip Billing – Huddersfield – 136.56km Robert Snodgrass couldn’t copeGetty Images - Getty

While Huddersfield are lacking points this season, their Danish midfielder has run his socks off so far.

That dodgy tattoo is clearly not slowing him down too much.

6 Marcos Alonso – Chelsea – 137.32km Alonso could easily be mistaken for a wingerAFP or Licensors

Marcos Alonso must have a name for every blade of grass on the left side of Stamford Bridge.
The Spanish international has been bombing down the wing since his 2016 arrival on the Fulham Road.

5 Abdoulaye Doucoure – Watford – 137.33km The Watford man has put in the work this yearGetty Images - Getty

Representing Watford in this list is Abdoulaye Doucoure.

The Frenchman has been vital to Javi Gracia’s plans so far this campaign and looking at his physique, it can’t come as a surprise to see the midfield monster in this particular list.

4 Jorginho – Chelsea – 137.43km Lift offGetty - Contributor

This is the first shock on the list.
When you watch Chelsea, Jorginho never seems to be far from the centre circle, and seems to glide across the pitch without breaking sweat.

Yet the Italian finds himself in our top four of this prestigious list.

3 Ruben Neves – Wolves – 138.63km Portuguese man of warReuters

Like Jorginho, Neves is considered more technically gifted than physically.
Yet the Portugal international may have a third lung, judging by the amount of running he has put in.

2 Luka Milivojevic – Crystal Palace – 140.69km Captain fantasticEPA

The Serbian midfielder is crucial to Crystal Palace in more way than one.

His leadership, penalty taking ability and apparent fitness will be vital if Roy Hodgson’s men want to stay up this year.

1 N’Golo Kante – Chelsea – 141.87km Run Kante runGetty - Contributor

Yep, the Duracell Bunny of the Premier League is unsurprisingly number one on the list.

Eden Hazard said playing with Kante is like playing with twins, and it is a fair assessment.

The Frenchman has run the equivalent of London to Brighton… and back again. All in the space of 12 games.
