James Milner has usurped Gareth Barry as the Premier League's record appearance maker but has done so having played significantly fewer minutes in the competition.
Milner played his 654th Premier League match on Saturday in Brighton's 2-0 win over Brentford to move one clear of Barry's 653 and the 40-year-old has the rest of the season to extend his lead at the top.
Despite his appearance record, Milner has remarkably played 13,874 fewer minutes than Barry in the Premier League .
That is equivalent to just over 154.15 full matches, which is just over four entire Premier League seasons of action.
Milner also has far fewer Premier League starts than Barry. He has started 436 matches, compared to Barry's 618.
Milner already holds the record for the most appearances from the substitute's bench in Premier League history with 217. Barry only came on 35 times.
For this season, and the past three, the Premier League rule for the quantity of substitutes allowed increased from three to five enabling greater opportunity to come off the bench.

Milner's Premier League career began with Leeds United when he came off the bench to replace Jason Wilcox, who is now Manchester United's director of football.
He became the competition's youngest-ever scorer aged 16 years and 356 days. He remains the second-youngest, with James Vaughan holding the record since 2005.
Milner went on to play for Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Manchester City, Liverpool, Brighton and England.
He has won three Premier Leagues, two FA Cups and a Champions League.
Barry started with Aston Villa, Man City, Everton, West Bromwich Albion and England. He won the league with City.
