18 February 2026
Travel Miles That Could Decide the Premier League Title
With 12 rounds remaining, the Premier League reaches a decisive phase where fatigue could tilt the title in favor of the fitter side.
LiveScore this week revealed dramatic gaps in the miles the leading teams still have to cover as they finish the season in the English top flight.
Distances for the Contenders
Arsenal sits in the lead with about 695 miles to travel, giving them a clear physical edge in the closing weeks.
Manchester United faces the toughest burden with roughly 1,928 miles ahead, followed by Chelsea at about 1,727 miles.
Defending champions Manchester City face about 1,269 miles, while Liverpool have 1,189 miles left and Aston Villa 1,010 miles.
That is a lot of mileage, but the race will be decided on more than just kilometers — strategy, form, and a good pair of comfy boots matter too.
Punchline 1: If miles decided trophies, Arsenal would have already lifted a suitcase full of silverware.
Punchline 2: City chasing the trophy, but their airline miles are counting as a budget line item.
