Stats leaders in the Premier League 2023/24
The season has started, but who is leading the stats lists after the first two rounds?
Brighton, Arsenal, and Manchester City are the only teams to have won their first two matches, and particularly Brighton has been flying at the beginning. With 8 goals scored, they are also the team that has scored the most goals. 5 teams (Everton, Luton, Sheffield U, Wolves, and Burnley) have lost their first two matches, so there's already pressure to avoid getting isolated at the bottom. A tough start for the three promoted teams who had hoped for a better beginning.
We have delved deeper into the numbers and looked at the stats leaders that we find most interesting.
Players with most shots in the Premier League 2023/24
Eberechi Eze (12)
Odsonne Edouard (10)
Yoane Wissa (10)
Solly March (8)
Mohamed Salah (8)
Solly March has scored 3 goals and is tied as the top scorer with Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford, so March is currently the most dangerous offensive player based on shots and goals.
Players with the most tackles in the Premier League 2023/24
Lucas Paqueta (10)
Yves Bissouma (8)
Rodri (8)
Max Love (8)
Paqueta has been close to a transfer to Manchester City, but the deal is said to have collapsed due to internal investigations related to betting.
Most chances created in the Premier League 2023/24
Phil Foden (9)
Kaoru Mitoma (9)
Pascal Gross (8)
James Maddison (8)
Pervis Estupinan (8)
It's evident that Brighton has had a flying start offensively, as they have multiple players on the list of most chances created. James Maddison has also had a good beginning at Tottenham, already securing 2 assists.
Players with most counter pressing actions in the Premier League 2023/24.
Conor Gallagher (9)
Philip Billing (8)
Oliver Norwood (7)
Bukayo Saka (7)
Maximilian Kilman (7)
Conor Gallagher has done his part to keep his starting spot, but with Caicedo and Lavio in the squad, it's likely just a matter of time before he finds himself on the bench. However, he's one of the Chelsea players who has demonstrated determination and fight at the beginning of the season.
Bernd Leno and Andre Onana are close contenders for the busiest goalkeepers, having made 14 and 11 saves respectively, while Ederson is the only one who has kept a clean sheet in both matches.
