Image source, BBC SportWhich Newcastle player has made the most sprints in the Premier League so far this season?
He's also walked further than anyone else for Eddie Howe's side.
But do you know who?
Image source, Getty ImagesEverton boss Sean Dyche says he thought Eddie Howe would have been "in the frame" to be the next England manager, but "it is the reality of the modern game" that the Football Association have appointed a non-British manager.
German head coach Thomas Tuchel was unveiled on Thursday as Gareth Southgate's successor and he will take charge on 1 January, 2025.
"Eddie Howe was someone who there was noise about and rightly so," said Dyche. "He may look at it differently. Some managers are still learning and a lot of managers at international level are older and wiser and have been around a bit longer.
"I am not putting words into Eddie’s mouth, but he is someone who I looked at and thought, ‘yeah he is someone who you can consider in that frame to be England manager’.
"I am sure there is a depth of process to go through and they have chosen someone who they think can win. They will have gone through a heavy process to get where they got to."
Thomas Tuchel's appointment as England manager has boosted Newcastle's hopes of signing England and Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, 24, with Eddie Howe now more likely to remain at St James' Park. (Givemesport, external)

There would obviously be a chunky pay-off and the FA has to balance its pennies but he would be the ideal choice for me.
We have to deepen the talent pool of homegrown managers. He’s got the personality. He can deal with the media. He’s got the respect of the players.
But he’s doing a good job - and why would Newcastle want to lose such a good manager?

Image source, Getty ImagesFor the final part of our Newcastle United Q&A, BBC Radio Newcastle's Matthew Raisbeck looks back on some iconic memories while in the commentary box.
Harry asked: What is your favourite commentary moment of the Eddie Howe era?
Matthew replied: Our job on the radio is to describe the action and find the words to do justice to the big moments given to us by Eddie Howe and his players.
The response from BBC Radio Newcastle listeners to our delivery of Harvey Barnes' 90th minute winner in the comeback against West Ham last season was really nice. We hope we captured the significance and emotion of the moment.
And, while we're on the subject, indulge me with a moment that occurred about a month before Eddie Howe arrived.
That was when our co-commentator and former Newcastle defender John Anderson's cry of: "Just put it in the net!" when Jacob Murphy missed a one-on-one chance in the last minutes of a draw with Watford, was shared widely on social media and is still regularly quoted back to us.
It is one of the purest pieces of punditry you will ever hear!

Callum Wilson surpassed Peter Beardsley last season to move into second spot on 47.
Image source, Getty ImagesAfter looking at the striker situation in part two of Friday's Q&A, BBC Radio Newcastle's Matthew Raisbeck looks at the other end of the pitch.
Kevin asked: Nick Pope has pulled off some spectacular Hollywood saves, but with the ball at his feet he is a calamity waiting to happen! Why are Newcastle’s training staff not working on this and if they are, why is he not improving?
Matthew replied: The saves he made from Bernardo Silva in the draw with Manchester City and from Matheus Cunha in the win at Wolves were both outstanding and hugely important.
He is a top goalkeeper and Newcastle really missed him last season during his months on the sidelines.
However, I agree with you that kicking is the area of his game that probably needs the most attention, and it is something they work on in training.
Newcastle need to be better at retaining possession generally and improving the distribution from the back will help towards that.
I know they currently have five senior goalkeepers on the books but when they do sign another one, it will be someone who is more comfortable with the ball at their feet.
Image source, Getty ImagesA number of fans asked how many teams would cope without their top two striking choices out ? And whether it was wise to keep Callum Wilson for another season with his injury record.
Matthew replied: I think Callum Wilson and Alexander Isak's injury history means Newcastle need a third out-and-out striker who can contribute - but that is something they have not had since Chris Wood was sold 18 months ago.
While they continue to develop William Osula, I hope it is something new sporting director Paul Mitchell will address in the next transfer windows.
Now 32, Wilson has not played this season because of back and hamstring injuries but should return after the international break, according to Eddie Howe.
Wilson's ability is not in doubt but keeping him fit has always been difficult. His return will be crucial because not only will it reduce some of the reliance on Isak, it will allow Anthony Gordon to move back out to the left of the attack.
There were five separate injury absences last season and he has missed more than 60 Premier League matches since arriving at Newcastle four years ago.
There was a lot of interest in Wilson in January but, he was injured at the time, and Newcastle decided not to sell him.
I think that was the right decision based on how good he is when he is fit, but also because of the lack of options to replace him.

Image source, Getty ImagesIn part two of our Q&A with Matthew Raisbeck, the BBC's Newcastle United expert gets stuck into the problems faced in Eddie Howe's forward line.
Tony asked: I know William Osula is not ready to start a Premier League game, but I'd like to know why Eddie Howe did not throw him on with 10 minutes to go against Everton when we needed a goal? If he is not ready to play, then why is he on the bench and not in the under-21s squad or out on loan?
Matthew replied: It's a fair question. Given the number of chances they created at Everton, a centre-forward would surely have made the difference.
Osula was brought on at Fulham last month when Newcastle were 2-1 down but he was unable to make an impact that day. Eddie Howe says he possesses "all the attributes to be an exciting player" but has some things to "smoothen out in his game" - so I think we are going to have to be patient with him.
It begs the questions, if he is not ready for regular Premier League football, should they have signed another striker in the summer?
Money was obviously available because they were willing to spend it on Marc Guehi.
I look at the exciting start Liam Delap has made at Ipswich and wonder if, for not a lot more than Newcastle paid for Osula, whether he would have been a smart acquisition.
Image source, Getty ImagesOver the course of Friday, BBC Radio Newcastle's Matthew Raisbeck will be answering your questions on the Magpies.
In the first part, he takes a look at the squad situation for Eddie Howe, with numerous contracts approaching the end.
Liam asked: With 12 players contracts expiring in June, including 10 senior players, another six expiring in 2026 and a squad already lacking in depth, have the club got enough breathing space from breaching profit and sustainability regulations to improve or even reinforce the squad?
Matthew replied: This will be on the agenda of new sporting director Paul Mitchell.
I am really curious about the changes he will be making to the club's transfer policy, given he suggested recently it had not been fit for purpose.
The exact PSR numbers are unknown but given Newcastle have gone through two windows without making a major signing - but were offering big money to Crystal Palace for Marc Guehi - it is a fair assumption they will have enough headroom to make significant moves in the market from January onwards.
Some of those coming towards the end of their contracts are not first-choice players. However, I think Eddie Howe will want to retain the likes of Fabian Schar, Dan Burn and Emil Krafth even when new signings come in.
Even so, I do agree with you that the squad, as it is, lacks depth.
When everyone is fit, the starting XI is excellent, but just two or three injuries can leave them exposed. I think the priority has to be recruitment, rather than player sales.

Image source, Getty ImagesBBC Radio Newcastle's Matthew Raisbeck says the Magpies are "getting fitter and better" after a start to their season where they "haven't played well".
"12 points from seven matches in the Premier League," Raisbeck told the Total Sport: Newcastle United podcast.
"It's the same as they had at this stage last season before the injury crisis hit and that includes a bad start last year.
"This year they haven't played well but they've got 12 points. It's not bad at all. It's four more than they had two season ago when they finished fourth but they had a lot of draws in that early period.
"One defeat so far at Fulham, that was the low point. They've definitely improved in league terms since then.
"The players are getting fitter and stronger. They was an issue with fitness and energy. They're still trying to get everything right and back to what it was.
"They were clearly not fit enough at the start of the season. I'm not sure why that was but that was as individuals and as a team, it wasn't working in the way that it used to.
"They need to get players back. To not have a striker on the pitch against Everton - they have William Osula on the bench who is raw and talented but is not ready.
"But also they have signed him for £15m, why not put him on for ten minutes? He's there on the bench, you want to see him when you need a winning goal.
"Not signing a third striker who is ready to play is an issue. January is going to be absolute massive.
"But, they're getting fitter and better and after two more weeks and with [Alexander] Isak and [Callum] Wilson hopefully back things will start to really click."
