Top 5 Premier League clubs with the highest average possession this season

#3 Manchester United — 59.5%

Manchester United has an average possession of 59.5%

Manchester United were the most looked-upon team before the season kicked off this year. Having lost their star value in the recent past, the Red Devils entered the latest Premier League season with some firepower in their bag.

Signing Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varane and the man Cristiano Ronaldo himself during the summer transfer window boosted the club and its faithful's confidence. However, after registering a strong start to the campaign, Ole's men can be seen struggling with their form right now. They have lost two of their last three matches.

United sit sixth in the league table as of now and face injury woes in what could be their most challenging month. Amidst all the contingencies, the Red Devils have something to boast about. Their brilliance in dominating possession. Manchester United has an average possession of 59.5%.

With Cristiano Ronaldo, a lethal finisher, upfront, Ole Gunnar can relax about his team's comeback. The club has huge backing from its supporters and are known for their fightback spirit.

#2 Liverpool — 61.1%

Liverpool are the only team who are yet to taste a defeat this season

The Merseysiders seem all set to regain their title. Jurgen Klopp's men look as hungry as ever and the same could be seen in their performances as well. Liverpool are the only team who are yet to taste a defeat this season.

Considering Mohamed Salah's form alongside his team-mates, it's going to be a mammoth task for any team to defeat Liverpool. Jurgen Klopp is a master tactician and his methods have been proven. The former Dortmund manager deploys each of his players during an attack and thus maintains constant pressure on the opposition.

Liverpool have barely lost sight of the ball and they have been consistent in maintaining about 61.1% of possession so far this season.

Boasting unmatchable squad depth, Manchester City have set a benchmark in almost every department for other teams to follow. With 64.6% average possession, Cityzens are the best team within the Premier League, in terms of holding the ball.

The former Barcelona boss has implemented the tiki-taka style of football at the Etihad. With the amount of individual talent housed within Manchester City, it just gets difficult for the opposition to dispossess them.
