Who are the tallest and shortest players in Premier League in 2023/24?

The 2023/24 Premier League season promises excitement and drama after the campaign got under way from August 11.

The new season will be packed with battles at both ends of the table with managers and players looking to gain whatever slight edge they can, to ensure a positive campaign.

Height and physical prowess are a huge advantage for teams who favour set pieces and certain managers have highlighted tall players as essential to their game plan this season.

However, the Premier League is not just a land of the giants, with the top-flight also boasting stacks of diminutive stars, capable of dominating games with their feet, despite the lack of height.
