Left winger: Eden Hazard (Chelsea)

Eden Hazard has been one of the star performers in the league for the majority of his time in the league, but he has arguably reached another level this season. Under Maurizio Sarri, he has flourished, as have Chelsea.

The Belgian has 8 goals and 9 assists in the league and has contributed to almost half of side's goals. His 2.9 chances created and 2.6 dribbles per game are bettered by nobody in the league. As these numbers suggest, Hazard is on course to have his best season yet at Chelsea.

Striker: Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)

Emulating last season's heroics was always going to be difficult for the Egyptian, but nevertheless, Mo Salah has had a stellar season thus far. Now Salah has played as a striker and a right winger, but his performances from the former position have been arguably better.

He has scored 10 goals in the league, out of which 7 have come from the striker position. Salah has 4 assists to boot as well. He has also created 2.1 chances and dribbles per game. As Liverpool look to mount a serious title challenge, Salah will have to continue delivering numbers like these.

Right winger: Raheem Sterling (Manchester City)

Sterling has made tremendous progress under Pep Guardiola and last season's 18 goals are a sign of the same. He can better that return this season, as he has taken over the role of the best player from Kevin De Bruyne.

The England international has 9 goals and 6 assists to his name, along with 2.1 chances created and 2.3 dribbles per game. Sterling has taken his game to the next level this season and aged just 24, he has some future ahead of him.
