March 14, 2026 - James Wilson - 6 min read

Goals get the headlines, but the Premier League is full of statistical leaders across every category. Here are the players and teams leading the key stats this season.

Assists

Mohamed Salah leads the assist charts with 12, followed by Bukayo Saka (11) and Kevin De Bruyne (10). Salah's ability to both score and create makes him the most complete attacker in the league. His vision and passing from the right wing consistently unlock defenses.

Clean sheets

Arsenal's David Raya leads the Golden Glove race with 14 clean sheets. Alisson (Liverpool, 12) and Ederson (Man City, 11) are in pursuit. Raya's shot-stopping and distribution have been exceptional — he is a key reason Arsenal have the best defensive record in the league.

Chances created

Martin Odegaard leads the league in chances created with 78. His creativity from the number 10 position is Arsenal's attacking engine. De Bruyne (72) and Saka (68) round out the top three. These are the players who make things happen — they see passes that nobody else can see.

Tackles and interceptions

Declan Rice leads the league in combined tackles and interceptions with 98. His ability to win the ball and immediately start attacks is what makes him one of the best midfielders in the world. Rodri (92) and Moises Caicedo (88) are close behind.

Team stats

Best attack: Man City (68 goals). Best defense: Arsenal (22 conceded). Most possession: Man City (64%). Most shots: Liverpool (478). Fewest fouls: Arsenal (268). These numbers tell the story of the season — City score the most, Arsenal concede the least, and Liverpool create the most chances.
