Kerkez ranks second in the Premier League for overlapping runs this season and top for underlapping runs.

The variety of runs makes Kerkez more difficult to defend against for Bournemouth's opponents and it is little wonder, given how much he offers in his position, that Iraola has constructed his attack around him.

Bournemouth direct a higher percentage of attacks down their left flank than any other Premier League side.

'Infiltration player' Munetsi catching the eye

Wolves host Leicester on Saturday on a run of five consecutive Premier League victories

That goal against Everton remains his standout moment for Wolves but the off-the-ball running that led to the opportunity has become a feature of their play under Pereira.

According to tracking data from GeniusIQ, Munetsi's average of 32.33 runs per 90 minutes is the third-highest among Premier League players this season.



"Munetsi now plays close to him, opens the space for him and helps him to play and attack the space," said the Wolves boss.

The striker is not the only player to have benefited either.

In the images below, from Wolves' 2-1 win over Ipswich on April 5, Munetsi runs at Cameron Burgess as soon as Joao Gomes receives the ball, occupying Ipswich's left-sided centre-back and giving Gomes the space he needs to unleash a shot which strikes the post.

Sometimes, Munetsi's runs serve both purposes in one.

In the example below, from Wolves' 1-0 win at Bournemouth on February 22, Munetsi's movement pulls right-back Lewis Cook away from Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, who has space to receive Strand Larsen's pass then produce a low cross from which Munetsi himself fires wide when he should score.
