#3 Brentford (392)
Brentford have been one of the teams to watch in the Premier League this season. After securing promotion to the top-flight after 74 years last summer, few expected the Bees to settle comfortably into the first-division. But they have astounded everybody with their high intensity football.
Trending
With Ivan Toney and Bryan Mbuemo leading the press from the front, the likes of Sergi Canos, Christian Norgaard and Mathias Jensen are not far behind. Their setup makes it hard to play through them while their tough tackling abilities are second to none. Their cohesive pressing and desire to always win the ball in dangerous areas has proved very useful this season. So much so that they have made 392 tackles in 23 league games.
Thomas Frank has built a team with a strong mindset and one that allows very few to get past them. If they continue to do so, they are sure to stay in the Premier League for a long time to come.
#2 Leeds United (406)
Leeds United may not have been as entertaining as last season but one thing they have not stopped doing this term is running non-stop. Marcelo Bielsa has instilled incredible fitness levels into each of his stars and their hard-working nature shows on the pitch.
Daniel James, Jack Harrison and Raphinha press from the front while Mateusz Klich and Kalvin Phillips are not far behind. They are often in the face of the opponent and are always trying to nick the ball away from them. They also try to isolate and hound the opponent into conceding the ball.
These methods have helped them make a mammoth 406 tackles in just 21 games this season.
Effort is non-negotiable for Bielsa and his team always back it up by giving their 100% on the pitch.
#1 Brighton (413)
Brighton and Hove Albion have taken their performances to a new level in the Premier League this season. They have become harder to beat and are often a nuisance for most opponents. Their setup is quite focal to how they neutralize the opposition, as is their relentless running and tackling abilities.
Yves Bissouma is their main perpetrator as the Mali international is strong on and off the ball. Adam Lallana, too, never shies away from a tackle and often lunges in to win the ball. Marc Cucurella and Tariq Lamptey also love a duel and often come out victorious at most. They know how to play in possession and also understand how to dispossess the opponent. Overall, they have made 413 tackles in 22 games this season.
Graham Potter has the Seagulls playing good football but his men are very capable of doing the dirty work as well.
