#3. Jamie Vardy - Leicester City

Leicester City v Manchester United - Premier League

Jamie Vardy's rise to fame has been nothing short of meteoric.

Originally from the lower tiers of English football, Vardy's career progression has been documented extensively in the past. He was a key member of Leicester City's title-winning run of 2015-16, a feat that is nothing short of a fairytale.

Vardy has demonstrated his goalscoring abilities ever since he set foot in the Premier League. Blessed with electric pace and excellent finishing, Vardy is a menace to the defenders in the league.

The 34-year-old has etched his name into Leicester's history books forever and continues to perform almost like he did on his first day for the club. Despite his age, Vardy continues to put up excellent numbers for the Foxes.

Vardy already has seven Premier League goals this season, taking second spot on the chart. His goalscoring contributions will be key to Leicester's success this season.

#2. Michail Antonio - West Ham United

West Ham United v Watford FC - Premier League

Michail Antonio has been in sublime form ever since the start of the season.

While Antonio has always been recognized as a top striker, his goalscoring numbers were never as good as England's elite. Antonio seems to have taken it upon himself to become one of the best strikers in the league this season.

The Jamaican has been in fine form this season for West Ham. Antonio has already scored six goals in the Premier League, while also providing three assists in total. He also has a goal and an assist in the UEFA Europa League.

With David Moyes' side looking to replicate their success from last year, they can rest assured that the attack looks safe in Antonio's hands. Known for his powerful running and shooting ability, Antonio is an ever-present threat to defenders.

Antonio has formed a deadly attacking partnership with the likes of Said Benrahma and Pablo Fornals and is leading West Ham to a successful season. With the Hammers currently 4th in the table, he will be looking to one-up his achievements from last season.

#1. Mohamed Salah - Liverpool

Liverpool FC v Manchester United - Premier League

Mohamed Salah is arguably the best player in world football at the moment.

The Egyptian has been in stunning form this season for Liverpool. Salah is well known for his pace and finishing and has put his skills on display this season for Liverpool.

The 29-year-old has started off the season in style. Salah has already scored ten goals in nine Premier League appearances, while also providing five assists. He also has five UEFA Champions League goals in just three appearances.

It's fair to say that Salah has simply been unstoppable this season. He has already scored goals against Chelsea, Manchester City and a hat-trick recently against Manchester United. Salah looks set to break his own record for most goals in a single Premier League season (32).

Salah has already won the Premier League Golden Boot twice in the past, during his first and second seasons with Liverpool. He currently leads the charts for goals and would certainly take home the prize once again if he keeps up his form.

With Liverpool looking like serious contenders for both the Premier League and UEFA Champions League, it is imperative that Salah continues to shine for the club.
