Playing in the Premier League is no mean feat, it is after all considered the most competitive league in the world.
To feature week-in week-out, for every single match is a notable achievement, especially given the demands and rigours of the top-flight.
A knock or a niggle can rule a player out for a game, or see a superstar substituted, while suspensions are always a risk, whether through a sending off or an accumulation of cautions.
Some stars, though, are both relied upon by their team and able to avoid absences and play every minute of every game.
But who are these ever-present players, talkSPORT.com takes a look.
LATEST FOOTBALL STORIES
Ben Mee (Burnley – 2790 minutes)
The defender has been an consistent feature in defence for Sean Dyche’s team and should he keep up his appearances, looks on course to beat his Premier League personal tally of 34 matches in 2016/17.
Jordan Pickford (Everton – 2790 minutes)
The England goalkeeper may have had his critics this season following his World Cup heroics, but he remains Everton’s first choice between the sticks.
Barring injury or something unexpected, Pickford should play every single match for the Toffees for a second successive season.
Kasper Schmeichel (Leicester City – 2790 minutes)
Goalkeepers are rarely rotated and it is usually a position managers will leave well alone, once they have found the right fit.
Schmeichel has been No.1 since his move in 2011 and that does not look like changing any time soon.
Alisson (Liverpool – 2790 minutes)
The Brazilian has been a key reason for Liverpool’s title challenge this season.
His arrival has solved the goalkeeping problem that was causing Jurgen Klopp considerable worry in recent seasons and he has the most clean sheets in the Premier League this season with 15.
Martin Dubravka (Newcastle United – 2790 minutes)
It was a masterstroke from Rafael Benitez to sign the Slovakian when he did, as he is now one of the Premier League’s most consistent goalkeepers and the interest from some of Europe’s elite, such as Juventus, is a testament to his talent and growing reputation.
Lukasz Fabianski – (West Ham – 2790 minutes)
The Hammers could not have asked for a more reliable player between the sticks.
Fabianski has only missed three matches in the past five seasons, four of those with Swansea City and he has already featured in every match for West Ham this campaign.
Luka Milivojević (Crystal Palace – 2700 minutes)
While Wilfried Zaha is rightly considered the Eagles most influential player, Milivojević is not too far behind himself, in terms of importance and is enjoying another impressive season.
The Serbian controls the tempo in midfield and is one of the most efficient penalty takers in world football.
Ederson (Manchester City – 2700 minutes)
Now in his second season at the Etihad, Ederson looks as if he has been playing in the Premier League for much longer, such is the ease with which he plays.
Comfortable with the ball at his feet, a modern essential to play in goal, it could be another season he finishes with a league title.
David De Gea (Manchester United – 2700 minutes)
The introduction in recent seasons of Ederson and Alisson to the Premier League has increased the competition among the Premier League’s goalkeepers, but for some De Gea still remains the best.
On his day he is capable of incredible stops and has proved time and time again to be virtually unbeatable. Just ask Tottenham!
Ben Foster (Watford – 2700 minutes)
Troy Deeney recently praised the former Manchester United goalkeeper: “The guy eats s***, trains twice a week, turns up on a Saturday and is unbelievable.â€
While few, other than his team-mates, can vouch for his diet, whatever he is eating clearly has not hampered his displays come the weekend.
Cesar Azpilicueta (Chelsea – 2700 minutes)
It may not have been his best season in a Chelsea shirt, but the Spaniard remains a figure of consistency and is one of the first names on the team-sheet.
He has missed three league matches in the past four seasons and was trusted to play a vital role by the likes of Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte, during Chelsea‘s title winning campaigns.
Neil Etheridge (Cardiff – 2700 minutes)
As far as first seasons go in the Premier League, it has been a respectable one for Etheridge and while Cardiff are in the relegation zone, the 6ft 2 shot-stopper, has earned a reputation for saving penalties.
Conor Coady (Wolverhampton Wanderers – 2700 minutes)
The former Liverpool defender has been excellent for a Wolves side in contention for European qualification.
Such is his form, Coady’s recent omission from the England squad had to be justified, with a future call-up not ruled out by Gareth Southgate.
