Due to its competitiveness and surprises, many believe the Premier League is the best league in the world. The current Premier League season has demonstrated exactly that.

Arsenal currently sit on top of the Premier League table with 18 points, while Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Brighton & Hove Albion complete the top four. Liverpool, who are expected to challenge for the Premier League title, have struggled to find consistency so far this season.

Wolverhampton Wanderers, West Ham United, Nottingham Forest and Leicester City are currently the bottom four teams in the league table.

The Brazilian has been exceptional for Arsenal and his intuition in attack has improved the overall performances of his team. Gabriel Jesus has registered four goals and three assists in seven Premier League games so far this season. He is certainly one of the best attackers in the Premier League right now.
