5 clubs with the best goal difference in Europe's top five leagues so far this season

#3 Chelsea (+27)

Chelsea v Leeds United - Premier League

The reigning Champions League winners have been a delightful team to watch under the management of Thomas Tuchel. Chelsea have looked quite solid at the back and very effective in front of goal.

Even though the Blues have struggled in their last three games, they remain a very strong side in the Premier League. Chelsea have scored 38 goals this season in just 16 games, the second-best goal-scoring record in the league. They look dangerous on the counter and given the time and space, they can punish any top side.

As far as their defense is concerned, it is a pretty solid one. With just 11 goals conceded so far in the league, Chelsea are a difficult side to score against. More importantly, their defenders have contributed significantly by scoring time and again. They have had 16 different goalscorers this season in the Premier League, with Mason Mount at the top with six goals.

The Blues have a goal difference of +27 so far this season.

#2 Bayern Munich (+31)

FC Bayern München v 1. FSV Mainz 05 - Bundesliga

Bayern Munich have been a dominant force in the Bundesliga for more than a decade now. It has been a difficult task for most teams to contain the Bavarian club from scoring. Their recent 3-0 Champions League victory against Barcelona speaks for itself.

With a goal-scoring machine like Robert Lewandowski at their disposal, there are goals galore for Bayern on a regular basis. This season has been no different as the German club have scored 47 goals already in the Bundesliga in just 15 games. Amazingly, out of the 47, 16 have been scored by Lewandowski.

Compared to other top European clubs, Bayern have conceded a tad more as they have allowed 16 goals scored against them. Nevertheless, they sit at the top of the Bundesliga table with a six point cushion. Their goal difference so far is +31.

#1 Liverpool (+33)

Liverpool v Aston Villa - Premier League

Liverpool have had an impressive start to their Premier League campaign having lost only once in their 16 games. The Reds have been very brutal in front of goal with some amazing attacking players in their squad.

Mohamed Salah has had a wonderful campaign so far, having scored 14 goals in the league itself. Liverpool have scored 45 goals so far in just 16 games, the best goal-scoring record in England's top-tier division this season. Given the form Salah is in, he might turn out to be a massive player when it comes to the Premier League title race.

Jurgen Klopp's side has conceded 12 goals so far in the league and it is an area where they can improve. With more than half of the season still to be played, Liverpool remain one of the title contenders. Their goal difference is +33 so far, the best in Europe's top five leagues.
