Attackers:
Raheem Sterling ( Manchester City )
It's no wonder that Sterling has made this XI with the Englishman scoring as many as nine goals for the Citizens so far in Premier League. He has been undroppable and at times unplayable for City this season. He has won four man of the match awards in the 13 matches he has started and has played major part in City's league high tally of 48 goals scored.
With six assists also to his name, Sterling is only behind the likes of Eden Hazard, Leroy Sane and Ryan Fraser. Such has been Sterling's form this season that he was chosen to lead to line against Chelsea albeit with relatively lesser success. With City currently placed second in the table, they will be hoping for more of the same from Raheem Sterling.
Mohammed Salah ( Liverpool FC )
Liverpool's talisman, Mo Salah started the season quite slowly to his lofty standards and was subject to claims that he was a one-season wonder. But Salah as gradually grown into his role and has been plundering goals of late. Currently leading the goalscoring charts alongside Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang with ten goals, Mo Salah has been pivotal to Liverpool success so far.
His hat-trick in a very tricky fixture against Bournemouth was quite impressive. Along with four assists to his teammates so far, Salah has impressed one and all with his link-up play with Mane, Firmino and Shaqiri with 2.1 key passes being dished out each game. The current PFA Player of the Year is just getting started and oppositions might want to take extra care.
Eden Hazard ( Chelsea FC )
Arguably, the best player of the league so far, Chelsea's Eden Hazard has been nothing but extraordinary for Chelsea this season. Coming into the season with injury, Sarri eased the Belgian into the team and what a move that was. No player has contributed more in terms of assists and goals as Eden Hazard. With eight goals to his name, Hazard leads the assists table with as many as nine assists so far.
With only almost half the season up, Hazard could be a contender to Henry's record of most assists in a season. Hazard has been ruthless and has shown no signs of stopping. His performances against the likes of Liverpool FC and Manchester City have attracted potential suitors as well. While Eden Hazard has been vocal of his desire to play for Real Madrid, oppositions will have to contend with stopping the Belgian maestro from putting out virtouso performances on a regular basis until the end of the 2018-19 season.
