With four games played in the Premier League this season, there have already been a number of upsets. Four teams remain undefeated- Liverpool, Chelsea, Man City and Watford, a surprising addition to the top four in the early stages of the competition.

There is a long season ahead, and players must keep on top form in order for their clubs to achieve success. However, with four games played we are beginning to get a look at who are going to be the star performers this year.

With that said, let's find out who's been banging the goals in so far this season and look at the top forwards in the Premier League right now.


#5 Lucas Moura

Slow out of the gates since signing for Spurs in January, Lucas disappointed fans last season after a much-hyped big-money move from French champions PSG. In the absence of Heung-Min Son, who is away on international duty, Moura has silenced the doubters with a fine start to the season, scoring three goals in key games.

With his first goal for the club coming against newly promoted Fulham, Moura scored twice against Manchester United as Spurs won 3-1 away from home at Old Trafford. If he can keep up his form throughout the season, he will put pressure on regular Tottenham starters for a place in the starting 11, and provide some much needed depth to the Spurs squad.

#4 Roberto Pereyra

Roberto Pereyra has been turning heads at the start of this campaign, many of whom had no idea who he was before his current run of form. Scoring three goals in four games, Pereyra has proven his value at the highest level.

A Watford player since 2016, he previously had seven goals in 44 games for the London club, but his recent performances have helped Watford to their greatest ever start to a Premier League season.

#3 Aleksandar Mitrovic

Signed from Newcastle this summer after an impressive spell in the Championship for Fulham last season, Mitrovic has finally started to show the qualities that were promised when he first signed for Newcastle.

Dropping to the Magpies bench last season, Fulham latched onto the opportunity to sign the passionate Serbian, and he has replied with four goals in as many games. It seems the London club are suiting Mitrovic well, and we will be seeing much more action from the big man across the season.

#2 Sergio Aguero

Mr. Reliable, Sergio Aguero has started the 2018-19 season in typical fashion, scoring three goals and assisting one as he has helped to maintain Manchester City's unbeaten run.

Scoring a hat-trick as City smashed Huddersfield 6-1 last week, Aguero has proven that even with his injury problems he remains a lethal presence in the Premier League.

#1 Sadio Mane

Liverpool have been deadly in the opening games of the season, and Klopp's heavy investment in the transfer market seems to be paying off for now.

However, one player that remains from last season, Sadio Mane, has been clinical in front of goal so far. With four goals across the first few fixtures, Mane boasts a goal rate of scoring once, every 86 minutes.

A long season lays ahead, but Mane has already shown he is more than the understudy to Mo Salah, and is the best forward in the league right now.
