BBC Sport sent a BBC Sport journalist to all 10 Premier League games.

They spent the matches recording data on where each manager stood and how they interacted with those around them.

Mikel Arteta squeezed out of his technical area almost 50% more than David Moyes .

Oliver Glasner was an animated figure throughout - constantly moving in the technical area and never sitting down for long periods.

Unai Emery and Nuno Espirito Santo spent the majority of the match in front, rather than within, their technical areas.

Emery energetically directed his team, frequently moving up and down the sideline, while Nuno stood unmoved with arms folded.

Thomas Frank constantly shifted back to the bench with his notepad in hand to speak to colleagues before stepping back to convey information to the players on the pitch.

Eddie Howe was the main figure of course, but Newcastle assistant Jason Tindall also played a part.

Pep Guardiola was equally active on his feet as Leicester boss.

Ruud van Nistelrooy was noticeably getting more and more frustrated at his side's inability to keep the ball.
