#3 Joao Cancelo (Manchester City)

With such an immensely talented squad at hand, Pep Guardiola is famous for constantly rotating his players. The Manchester City boss is known for experimenting with his tactics and starting XI, yet Joao Cancelo is seemingly someone he truly relies upon.

The Portuguese right-back is defensively solid and has helped Manchester City keep numerous clean sheets in the league this season. Manchester City have conceded just three goals in their Premier League campaign so far, and the 27-year-old has played a significant part in it. Cancelo is also extremely versatile and can play on both flanks.

Another plus for Cancelo is his attacking threat as he offers many options for Manchester City from the full-back position. With the defender in good form, Cancelo will be one of the players to watch out for this weekend.


#2 Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United)

No one can rule someone like Cristiano Ronaldo out. Ronaldo is one of those players who can make headlines even when he is not at his very best. Since moving to Manchester United in the summer, the Portuguese legend has been key to Ole Gunner Solskjaer's squad.

Ronaldo has scored five goals in all competitions, with three of them coming in the Premier League. The forward's penchant for being in the right place at the right time is unparalleled, as is his hunger for goals. Ronaldo is also in good form, as was evident in the match against Luxembourg where he scored a hat-trick for Portugal.

With the encounter against Leicester City around the corner, Manchester United will need their talisman to fire on all cylinders.


#1 Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)

Mohamed Salah is in the form of his life at the moment and has easily been the best forward in the Premier League so far this campaign. Salah's powerful display on the pitch has helped Liverpool fight for top spot as the Reds remain the only unbeaten side in the Premier League so far.

The Egyptian forward's beautiful individual strike against Manchester City in the previous league match just sums up his form. With lightning pace and the ability to get past defenders effortlessly, Salah has been the main threat to any opponent this season.

Liverpool are set to battle Watford in their eighth game-week. With the kind of form Salah is in, he can play a huge role in the match or even dictate the outcome with outrageous skill. He will definitely be the top player to watch out for in this upcoming game-week.
