Man City is too scary

After the first two matchdays of the opening round of the 2025/26 Premier League, Manchester City are the team showing superiority in statistics on distance traveled.

Manchester City are leading the list of teams with the most travel in the opening weekend of the 2025/26 Premier League.

According to data from Sofascore , the entire Man City team covered a distance of up to 122.4 km in the 4-0 victory over Wolverhampton in the early morning of August 17. This is the highest number among the 12 teams that played in the opening round of the 2025/26 Premier League.

Manchester City (122.4km) are well ahead of Wolverhampton Wanderers (112.6km) and Liverpool (112.5km), the teams with the next highest total distance covered in the Premier League's first round. Under the guidance of coach Pep Guardiola, Man City demonstrated a possession-based style combined with high-intensity pressing in the win at Molineux.

According to The Times , Man City are showing a new face, playing more dynamically, aggressively and pushing the squad higher than in previous seasons. This impressive distance reflects the efforts of new players such as Tijjani Reijnders or Rayan Cherki, who played well against Wolverhampton.

Distance covered statistics are an important indicator of the effort and intensity of a team’s play. The fact that Man City lead by nearly 10km over Wolves and Liverpool shows that they not only have the technical foundation to control the ball (68% of the game against Wolves) but also the ability to maintain constant pressure on their opponents.

This is particularly notable given that City have lost key players Kevin De Bruyne and Kyle Walker this summer, and Rodri is yet to return to action. City’s superiority in distance covered suggests they are finding their feet again under Pep.
