4) Joel Ward – Crystal Palace – 3.7 tackles per match
Ward is enjoying Palace’s relegation dog fight, and has easily been one of their best players. Only three players have averaged more tackles per game than Ward.
3) Cheick Tiote – Newcastle United – 3.9 tackles per match
Tiote is on of the best battling midfielders in the Premier League, so it’s no surprise to see him high up this list. Last season, he wasn’t at his best, but has been a crucial part of a Newcastle side that currently sit just five points off fourth.
