Harvey Elliott on track to beat James Milner Premier League record this season

Liverpool star Harvey Elliott is on track to beat former teammate James Milner's Premier League record.

Elliott has been an ever-present for the Reds this season, making 27 appearances in all competitions.

The 20-year-old has talked about being his own worst critic and demanding more from himself.

However, the England Under 21 international will surely be pleased with one area of his game this season.

It's emerged, courtesy of Lewis Steele from the Daily Mail, that Elliott has covered more distance than any other Liverpool player on average this season.

Jurgen Klopp orders his players to do plenty of running and gets players up to speed with a brutal 'lactate test' at the start of every season.

Machine Milner won it every season he was at the club, but it was Mo Salah and Dominik Szoboszlai who came out on top in the most recent edition.

Even at the age of 37, Milner covered more distance than any other player in the Premier League last term.

Of players who played 900 minutes or more, he averaged 11.2km per game.

However, Elliott has smashed that figure in his 16 appearances in the Premier League this season.

The former Fulham youngster has covered a massive 13.2km per 90 minutes, with no other player with five or more appearances running more.

Curtis Jones is closest to Elliott, averaging 12.6km in an impressive campaign.

Despite the fine stat, Elliott is not resting on his laurels and recently spoke about his need to keep producing when selected.

"When I get these chances to go out and play, I have to make sure I affect the game well and maybe bring something different to the team," he told Liverpool's official website.

“I always need to be patient in my career. It’s not going to be straightforward. There are always going to be ups and downs, but you just need to keep working hard.”
