Free-scoring Jermain Defoe, evergreen Nwankwo Kanu and Mr Manchester United Ryan Giggs... who are the Premier League's serial subs as James Milner equals Peter Crouch's record of most appearances from the bench?

Liverpool midfielder James Milner joined Peter Crouch atop the Premier League substitute appearance list after entering the fray at Molineux on Monday night.

The 35-year-old is used to playing cameo roles off the bench for Jurgen Klopp's champions but his introduction in the 67th minute of Liverpool's 1-0 win over Wolves was, in fact, his 158th appearance as a substitute in England's top flight.

Milner equalled Crouch's Premier League record in his 558th Premier League game and with nine games remaining this season will surely usurp the former England striker as the most subbed player.
