Tottenham Hotspur have taken some time to find their feet in the Premier League this campaign. With their talisman Harry Kane not on form, Spurs were under pressure to deliver under their new manager, Nuno Espirito Santo. Expectations were on Heung-Min Son to deliver and he has not disappointed so far.

Heung-Min Son has been as deadly as ever in front of goal. In the Premier League, the 29-year-old has racked up four goals and an assist in just seven games. Son's knack for scoring is nothing new but what matters is that he is stepping up in times of need for Tottenham.

Spurs take on West Ham in their ninth game-week and it will be wise to keep faith in the South Korean attacker to steal the show.

#2 Jamie Vardy - Leicester City

Seven goals in eight Premier League games - Jamie Vardy has been nothing short of sensational this campaign. The 34-year-old is showing no signs of slowing down with age and only Mo Salah is statistically better than him in the current campaign.

Vardy has been explosive during attacks, finding his name on the scoresheet almost every match-day. The forward played a significant part in Leicester's 4-2 victory against Manchester United in their latest league game.

After their win, Leicester are bound to get a boost in their confidence. Although Brentford away will be difficult, Vardy can dictate the result of the tie if he keeps firing on all cylinders.

#1 Mohamed Salah - Liverpool

Mohamed Salah is in a league of his own this campaign, proving himself to be the best in business with some ruthless displays. The Egyptian's extraterrestrial form has been an important part of Liverpool's early success in the Premier League and in Europe.

No matter who the opponents are, Salah has been able to find the net or make an impact in the game. The 29-year-old has wreaked havoc on the right wing with his left-foot and has been a cheat code for the Reds. Salah has racked up 12 goals and four assists in all competitions so far. Seven of his goals have come in the Premier League, through which he leads the race for the Golden Boot.

With Liverpool facing their arch rivals Manchester United, all eyes will be on the forward to deliver. Considering Salah's explosive form, who would bet against him?
