After looking at the Premier League stars with the most touches last week, we now move on to the most tackles.

Some say tackling is a dying art in the modern game, where more and more challenges are being punished as fouls. However, the ref will never blow his whistle if it is a clean tackle and there are still those that make a living in the Premier League who are experts at breaking up play.
