Leicester City Dominate 10 Fastest PL Players This Season, Theo Walcott Absent

Statistics compiled by EA Sports have revealed that Arsenal speedster Theo Walcott has not been one of the 10 fastest players in the Premier League so far this season.

Walcott is widely considered to be one of the league's fastest players, but despite his recent good form, he is absent from the list of this season's pace-setters.

The list is instead surprisingly dominated by Leicester City players, with Wes Morgan (!), Ritchie De Laet, Marc Albrighton, Jeffrey Schlupp and Jamie Vardy all featuring.

The full list reads below:

10. Wes Morgan, Leicester City - 34.76 km/h
9. Charlie Daniels, Bournemouth - 34.76 km/h
8. Carl Jenkinson, West Ham United - 34.89 km/h
7. Mame Biram Diouf, Stoke City - 34.97 km/h
6. Ritchie De Laet, Leicester City - 34.97km/h
5. Victor Moses, West Ham United - 35 km/h
4. Marc Albrighton, Leicester City - 35 km/h
3. Billy Jones, Sunderland - 35.07 km/h
2. Jeffrey Schlupp, Leicester City - 35.26 km/h
1. Jamie Vardy, Leicester City - 35.44 km/h

Claudio Ranieri's side have climbed to fifth in the table after a hugely impressive start to the season, with these stats suggesting the key to their success is, well, running really fast.
