We look at the players and teams who have registered the top speeds and made the highest number of sprints this season<\/p>\n

Harvey Barnes is the fastest Premier League player of the 2026\/27 season so far, reaching a top speed of 36.21km\/h for Newcastle United against Aston Villa<\/a>. Bradley Barcola<\/a> ranks second at 35.93km\/h, with Manchester City<\/a>‘s Antoine Semenyo<\/a>\u00a0third at 35.74km\/h.<\/p>\n

Barnes<\/a> became the first Premier League player to break the 36km\/h barrier in 2026\/27, clocking this season\u2019s fastest top speed in a 1-0 loss at home to\u00a0Aston Villa<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Barcola wasted no time in showing Liverpool<\/a> supporters how much pace he has, registering 35.93km\/h on his debut at Ipswich Town<\/a> in early September.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Man City winger Semenyo\u00a0reached the third-fastest speed this season in the win at Liverpool, with team-mates\u00a0Erling Haaland<\/a> (35.33km\/h) and\u00a0Abdukodir Khusanov<\/a> (35.32km\/h) ranking ninth and 10th in the table for their maximum speeds in Matchweek 7 at home to Ipswich.<\/p>\n

The deceptively quick Everton<\/a> striker, Thierno Barry<\/a> is the division\u2019s fourth-fastest player, registering a fastest speed of 35.5km\/h.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Who is the fastest player at every Premier League club?<\/p>\n

Of the remaining 14 Premier League sides who do not have anyone featuring in the top 10, a high number of defensive players top their club rankings for max speed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cristhian Mosquera<\/a> is Arsenal<\/a>\u2019s fastest player, with full-backs Leif Davis<\/a> (Ipswich) and Reinildo Mandava<\/a> (Sunderland<\/a>) plus central defenders Joe Rodon<\/a> (Leeds United<\/a>) and Kristoffer Ajer<\/a> (Brentford<\/a>), all quickest.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The only new entry from Matchweek 8 is also a defender, with Crystal Palace<\/a> wing-back Anan Khalaili<\/a> being clocked at a season-high 34.32km\/h.<\/p>\n

Which Premier League players make the most sprints?<\/p>\n

Two left-backs, AFC Bournemouth<\/a>‘s\u00a0Adrien Truffert<\/a>, and Davis, are both leading this ranking, making 165 and 160 sprints respectively.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Liverpool\u2019s Milos Kerkez<\/a>, Bournemouth\u2019s left-back prior to Truffert, sits third on 150 sprints, with\u00a0Crystal Palace<\/a>‘s Tyrick Mitchell next on 138 sprints. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Two Brentford<\/a> forwards also feature in the top eight, with\u00a0Kevin Schade<\/a> (126 sprints) and\u00a0Igor Thiago<\/a> (137 sprints), working exceptionally hard for head coach\u00a0Keith Andrews<\/a>. Former Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo<\/a> ranks highly too, making 135 sprints for Manchester United<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Which Premier League teams make the most sprints?<\/p>\n

Liverpool lead the way, averaging 117.49 sprints per 90 minutes, with Brentford narrowly behind on 113.06.<\/p>\n

Reds boss Andoni Iraola<\/a> and Brentford’s Andrews\u202fmay have differing styles of play but each demands great intensity from their players, and that is reflected in the early season sprints table. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Enzo Maresca<\/a>\u2019s Man City rank 20th in this department, making 32 fewer sprints per match than Liverpool.<\/p>\n
