With four games played in the Premier League this season, there have already been a number of upsets. 4 teams remain undefeated- Liverpool, Chelsea, Man City and Watford, a surprising addition to the top four in the early stages of the competition.
With a long season ahead, 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 look at the top right-backs in the Premier League right now.

#5 Kieran Trippier
Kieran Trippier started the 2018-19 season the way he finished the World Cup- with a screamer of a free-kick against Newcastle in the opening game of the season.
Since then he has been producing consistently solid performances for Spurs, proving a threat in attack and able to counter the pace of wingers in defence. Despite a slip-up against Watford last weekend, Trippier has fully stepped into Kyle Walker's shoes after his departure to Manchester City last summer.
#4 Daryl Janmaat
Daryl Janmaat is most notorious for playing his part in Newcastle's disastrous relegation campaign of 2015-16. Since then, he has not been regarded as a top defender, but his performances this season have proven his doubters wrong.
Playing in all four of Watford's 100% unbeaten run so far this season, Janmaat was outstanding against Spurs; a game in which he helped to stop Harry Kane in his tracks as Watford won 2-1 in a landmark victory for the Hornets.
#3 César Azpilicueta
With over 200 appearances for Chelsea, Azpilicueta has relished his new role under Sarri this season as captain of the side. Undefeated in 4 games, he has performed immensely under the new system which occasionally sees him slipping into centre-back.
The Blues can count on the Spaniard producing quality performances throughout the season.
#2 Kyle Walker
Walker has returned from a successful World Cup campaign with England and hit the ground running with City. Undefeated in the league, Walker has started every game for the Mancunians this season, scoring his first goal for the club with a game-winning screamer against Newcastle last week.
With performances like these, Walker can help City climb the league and challenge Liverpool at the top.
#1 Trent Alexander-Arnold
A tourist in Gareth Southgate's side in Russia this summer, TAA returned to Merseyside this summer with a point to prove. Playing in all of Liverpool's games this season, Alexander-Arnold has helped Liverpool back on their perch at the top of the table. TAA's quality shows in the fact that Liverpool have only conceded 2 goals over 4 games against classy Premier League opponents.
The Reds are yet to play another of the top 6 teams this season, but with Alexander-Arnold in the form of his life, and improving, they are sure to go into these games with a fighting spirit.
