English Premier League. Ah! The mere essence of the name! The toughest and the most competitive league in the world by a mile.
That's how the Premier League is known around the globe.
And it should be so. The English League has the best crop of players and managers, unlike others.
It is way too unpredictable when compared to the other top-flight leagues. Also, you are bound to have a great weekend if you are a fan of a Premier League club.
Like the other leagues, The English top-tier has also seen top players achieve remarkable and memorable feats on an individual as well as club level.
Holding a Premier League record is a proud moment for any footballer who plays in the league.
Records are meant to be broken and so are they, every season.
In this slideshow, we take a look at some of the top feats that can be broken by the current crop of players and managers in the league.
#5: Most Premier League games managed all-time
At several junctures last season, it seemed that Arsene Wenger was closer to the axe, following his abysmal record for the past few years.
Wenger's Arsenal never quite managed to dominate the Premier League after the Invincibles era.
However, the owners of the North-London club seem to be thinking on different lines. Wenger has already signed a two-year extension(much to the disappointment of Arsenal fans).
But, putting pen to paper has increased the pressure on his shoulders, considering Arsenal's absence in the UEFA Champions League this season.
Arsene Wenger has been in the Emirates' hot seat since 1996 and could go on to become the manager to manage most Premier League games.
The record has been held by previous Manchester United gaffer Sir Alex Ferguson who oversaw 810 league games with the Red Devlis.
Wenger trails Ferguson with 795 games as of last week, requiring only 15 more games to equal his counterpart.
Surely, Sir Alex will be seeing his record broken by Wenger in the coming months.
#4: Most appearances in the Premier League
Ryan Giggs has been on the pedestal when the most appearances record has been concerned.
The most decorated player in the history of Great Britain turned out 632 times for Manchester United in the League.
However, that record will be broken as soon as the weekend itself, when Everton host Bournemouth at the Goodison Park.
Gareth Barry has already equalled veteran Ryan Giggs last week, after making his 632nd appearance versus Manchester United.
Barry is only 36 and could as well cross the 700 mark if he goes on to play for another two or three seasons.
Apparently, Gareth Barry also holds the record for the most yellow cards in the league with 103 to his credit.
He is also two short of being the fourth joint record holder for most red cards in Premier League. Barry has 6 red cards to date.
#3: Most Assists in a Premier League season
Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has achieved quite a remarkable feat by making 20 assists in season 2002-03 season. The record still stands firmly even after fifteen years.
Although, Henry's achievement has seen a considerable threat. Arsenal's Mesut Ozil grabbed 19 assists in season 2015-16, falling 1 short of equalling the record.
German and Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne gave Henry quite a scare after notching 16 assists in 36 appearances as the Cityzens finished third last season.
Tottenham Hotspur star Christian Eriksen could also be in contention for the players who can break this record.
The Dane created 109 chances in the last season and grabbed 15 assists in 36 league games for the Lilywhites.
#2: Most goals scored in a Premier League season
After assists, it's the most goals in a season record that still waits to be broken. The Premier League was played in two formats.
In the starting stages, the league had 42 games per year. But, the count was reduced to 38 later.
In the 38-game league, Alan Shearer, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Luis Suarez are joint-top scorers in a season with 31 goals to their credit.
The record could have been surpassed last year itself. However, owing to Harry Kane's 7-game absence due to injuries, the English hitman managed to score 29 in 31 league games, which is still an incredible stat!
However, Romelu Lukaku is also in contention to break this record. The Belgian scored 25 for Everton last term and has seen a flying start to his Manchester United career after joining them in the summer.
Lukaku has taken advantage of Kane's late form this season. The United striker already has 5 goals and is a joint top-scorer with Manchester City forward Sergio Aguero this season.
#1: Most clean sheets in a Premier League season
When it comes to manning the posts, the Premier League boasts some of the world's top shot-stoppers in Thibaut Courtois, Hugo Lloris and David De Gea.
The goalkeepers managed to get 16, 15, and 14 clean sheets respectively in the last term.
The record for the most Premier League clean sheets goes to both Petr Cech and Edwin Van Der Sar.
Current Arsenal keeper Petr Cech achieved this spot by keeping 21 clean sheets in season 2004-05 for Chelsea.
Dutch shot-stopper Van Der Sar repeated the feat with Manchester United in season 2009-2010.
In the current format, it's De Gea who can break the feat this season, owing to United's rock-solid start in the Premier League.
The Spaniard already has 4 clean sheets in 5 league games this season.
