2. Nemanja Matic – Chelsea
Tackles: 68
Matic has often been lauded as the unsung hero of Chelsea’s season so far, and there is certainly a case for that as his tackles in the middle of the park frequently set the club on their way to the other end of the pitch.
1. Nathaniel Clyne – Southampton
Tackles: 78
Clyne has been in the form of his life this season, and if he isn’t charging forward to create or score goals himself, he’s preventing them with a series of tackles at the other end.
