Obviously, we are only interested in the field players, because the goalkeepers can not get tired with everything that's going on around us. Arsenal is not a single player on this list – could they do their usual trick and finish strong?

The minutes are for the club and the country since the beginning of this season.

Chelsea (four)
N'Golo Kante – 3280
Cesar Azpilicueta – 3221
Jorginho – 3212
Antonio Rudiger – 3145

It is no wonder that Chelsea is fighting for consistency. They are clearly stunned. Although they have been largely excused from the duty of the Europa League, Maurizio Sarri may rely too much on a core of players. Azpilicueta did not miss a single minute of the Premier League – and it shows – while N'Golo Kante and Jorginho were apologized for only a handful. Which makes one wonder again why Cesc Fabregas was allowed to leave in January without replacement.

Liverpool (three)
Virgil van Dijk – 3295
Andy Robertson – 3217
Mo Salah – 3020

The "good" news is that Virgil van Dijk will rest Tuesday night. The other "good news" is that not going to the bottom of the national cups gave Liverpool the opportunity to give much needed breaks to Sadio Mane and Georginio Wijnaldum, who were removed from the list of watched teams. these players which have probably been overloaded this season.

Manchester City (one)
Kyle Walker – 3002

Sensational. Manchester City have played 42 games this season against 34 other Liverpool players. Only Kyle Walker (who was dismissed by Pep Guardiola a bit more often than he would like to remember this season) managed to exceed 3000 minutes. Aymeric Laporte, Fernandinho (even without international football), Raheem Sterling, Bernardo Silva and John Stones have all been close, but the depth of the City team has not been exaggerated. The city has 19 players who have played more than 1,000 club minutes this season; for Liverpool, this figure is only 14. Advantage City?

Tottenham (one)
Toby Alderweireld – 3430

Harry Kane was injured while he was about to break through the 3,000-minute barrier, but Alderweireld ran straight ahead without taking a breath. It is clear that the Spurs are going to get their money for what will probably be his last season at the club. Do you want a shock? Only three Spurs players have played more minutes than Harry Winks this season. The mind blown.

Manchester United (one)
Nemanja Matic – 3039

There is a reason why we asked last week about the identity of the new Nemanja Matic; the old Nemanja Matic is broken. When you team up with Scott McTominay, you can never rest. For the record, Paul Pogba lost just under 3,000 minutes, which is remarkable for a player who won the World Cup last summer.
