Official Premier League performance data is collected and analysed by Opta, part of Stats Perform (statsperform.com).
Live data is collected by a three-person team covering each match. Two highly trained analysts use a proprietary video-based collection system to gather information on what happens every time a player touches the ball, which player it was and where on the pitch the action occurred.
Alongside them, a quality control analyst has the ability to rewind the video feed frame-by-frame in order to make certain that the information being distributed is as precise and consistent as possible.
All the Premier League data collected is then subject to an exhaustive post-match check to ensure accuracy.
