The Foxes number 25 beat Manchester United right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka (92 tackles) to the accolade, while Ricardo Pereira was in third place with 71 tackles.
In other categories, Ilkay Gundogan had the most successful passes in the opposition half, Mohamed Salah most left footed goals, Wilfried Zaha most dribbles completed, James Tarkowski most headed clearances, Virgil van Dijk most touches of the ball, Kevin De Bruyne most big chances created and Sergio Aguero hit the woodwork the most.
