#1 Sadio Mane - Liverpool

The ultimate workhorse of this fascinating Liverpool squad under Jurgen Klopp, Sadio Mane has undoubtedly been the best player in the league so far and is playing like a man possessed. Winning the golden boot last season hasn't halted him and his rich vein of form has continued this season. He's already racked up 6 goals and 4 assists and has spearheaded Liverpool's title charge, as the Reds have opened up a six-point lead in the Premier League summit.
He has been on an upward spiral since his arrival from Southampton and is now showing signs of being one of the most potent attackers in world football. His capability to score or create a moment of magic even on a quiet game is remarkable, to say the least, making him one of the biggest match-winners in the league.
His number of tackles, duels won, interceptions and recoveries in defensive areas are considerably higher than what they were at this stage last season. If Liverpool are to win their long-awaited PL trophy, Mane needs to carry on his run of good form.
