Six players go into the final round of Premier League matches this Sunday looking to have played every minute of the 2016/17 season.

Cesar Azpilicueta has been on the pitch throughout Chelsea's title-winning campaign, and his fellow defenders Ben Gibson and Steve Cook have also been constants for Middlesbrough and AFC Bournemouth respectively.

They join goalkeepers Lukasz Fabianski, Fraser Forster and Ben Foster, who have not missed a minute for Swansea City, Southampton and West Bromwich Albion.
