Everton and West Ham share second place with a speed of 1.94 meters per second, while Nottingham Forest follows closely in third with 1.93 meters per second.

Brighton and Hove Albion evade the bottom tier by recording a speed of 1.59 meters per second for the 2023-2024 campaign.

Arsenal ranks third from the bottom at 1.54 meters per second, while Manchester City trails at 1.26 meters per second, with Burnley situated between them at 1.45 meters per second.
Arsenal appeared poised for a title win last season but stumbled in the final months, allowing City to clinch the league as the first part of their Treble win. To prevent a similar occurrence, the Gunners aim to bolster their team during the January transfer window, with fans urging Mikel Arteta to acquire a striker.
Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola’s team grapples with maintaining pace this season, suffering losses against teams like Aston Villa and drawing with Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham, and Palace.
Conversely, Liverpool secured an impressive win over Arsenal in the cup, following a 1-1 draw at Anfield in the Premier League, ensuring their competitive edge across four different competitions.
