Arsenal v Liverpool - Premier League
Salah has taken the league by storm this season

RF: Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)

Salah has been hailed as the best signing of the summer transfer window. The 25-year old is excellent in passing, dribbling, and is very agile on and off the ball. He has developed into one of the most prolific finishers at Liverpool.

With 15 goals and 5 assists, Salah has played a hand in more goals than any player in the league. He possesses a thunderous left foot and has a shooting accuracy of 52%. Jurgen Klopp has brought the best out of the ex-Chelsea man and the Egyptian is already a superstar in the Premier League, just 5 months after his return.

CF: Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur)

Is he the best striker in the world right now? Maybe. Harry Kane has been the most prolific and consistent striker in Premier League for the last three and a half seasons. He has scored at least 20 goals in each of his last 3 seasons and has already hit 18 this term.

He averages close to a goal per game and equally good with both feet. Kane is stronger than he looks, possesses great close control and scores from every possible angle. He is excellent in one-on-one situations and hold-up play. He keeps getting better every game and at only 24 years of age, we are yet to see the best of Harry Kane. Oh, and he did outscore Messi and Lewandowski this season, so, perhaps he is the best striker in the world!

LF: Raheem Sterling (Manchester City)

With 13 goals and 4 assists, Sterling is one of the most improved players in Premier League this season. Deployed on the left in a 3-man attack and at times as a false 9, Raheem Sterling has terrorised defences throughout the season and is only behind Harry Kane and Mo Salah in the 2017/18 goal scorers list.

Though extremely talented, Sterling struggled for consistency throughout his career but the arrival of Pep has changed everything. His decision making and finishing gotten a lot better this season. He is blessed with blistering pace and at only 23 years of age, he has all the potential to become one of the best in the world.
