James Milner is just 33 games short of equalling Gareth Barry’s record total of 652 Premier League appearances.
Having signed a one-year contract with Brighton & Hove Albion, which includes the option of an additional year, you wouldn’t bet against the former Liverpool star making such a record his own in the months ahead.
In truth, the 37-year-old could potentially overtake Barry before the 2023/24 season is out. Despite very much being a squad player in his final seasons at Anfield, he still made 31 Premier League appearances last season, after all, even if only seven of those outings were starts.
