The Premier League has its own challenges and it is not easy to be a regular goal-scorer there. Over time, the difficulties faced in linking up have only increased with a more detailed study of the opposition.
Despite that, some of the superstar players have had great chemistry on the pitch. They have been on the same wavelength more often than not and have been very productive in front of goal for their respective clubs.
The Premier League has seen some great partnerships on the pitch
The famous pair of Cristiano Ronaldo & Wayne Rooney linked up really well on the pitch and were quite efficient for Manchester United. Both players helped each other to be on the scoresheet and indirectly benefited the club.

There have been other duos in the league who have had a great amount of success and productivity playing together. On that note, let's take a look at those star players who have combined with each other to score the highest number of goals in England's top-tier division.
#5 Teddy Sheringham and Darren Anderton (Tottenham Hotspur)
Both Teddy Sheringham and Darren Anderton joined Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 1992. While Anderton took time to settle, Sheringham had an instant impact at Spurs.
The English striker scored 21 goals in his very first season as goals came in on a regular basis from him during his time in London. Anderton was always more of a goal-assister than a goal-scorer. His link-up with Teddy Sheringham was quite fruitful for Spurs.
The duo also played with each other for the England national team, which helped them more with their chemistry. Both Sheringham and Anderton had combined to score 27 goals in the Premier League, with the former being the goal-scorer more often.
#4 Thierry Henry and Robert Pires (Arsenal)
Thierry Henry signed for Arsenal in 1999 while Robert Pires joined them a year later. Both players were instrumental in the Gunners' success in their own way.
Pires liked to play as an attacking midfielder and even as a winger at times. His compatriot Henry was a goal-scoring machine for the Gunners. Both players won the Premier League twice with Arsenal and were an important part of the 2003-04 team that went undefeated and was labeled as "The Invincibles".
The duo had a good understanding on the pitch and were trusted very much by manager Arsene Wenger. Both Pires and Henry had combined to score 29 goals in the league during their time at Arsenal.
#3 Sergio Aguero and David Silva (Manchester City)
The Premier League has had some world-class foreign players in its history and surely Sergio Aguero and David Silva are two of them. The former arrived at Manchester City in 2011 while the Spaniard had signed for City a year earlier.
Aguero is arguably one of the best strikers ever to play in the league with 184 goals to his name. David Silva was one hell of a playmaker at City using his incisive passes, smart dribbling and amazing creativity.
The duo won four league titles together and were difficult to contain when on song. Their link-up brought in a number of goals for Manchester City, as the pair combined to score 29 goals in the league. Both Sergio Aguero and David Silva are regarded as legends at the club.
#2 Harry Kane and Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur)
The latest pairing to join this stunning list of players is Harry Kane and Son Heung-min. The duo have been phenomenal together and have done wonders playing for Tottenham Hotspur.
Harry Kane has been a ruthless and deadly striker in the league for the past few years. At the same time, Son Heung-min's versatility and creativity have been a delight to watch. Together, the pair have been absolutely amazing with their telepathic understanding and effectiveness in front of goal.
The Spurs duo have so far combined to score 36 goals in the league. It is only unfortunate that their amazing link-up hasn't resulted in silverware for the club. With Kane and Son the only active pair on this list, there is no doubt that they'll be breaking the record soon and moving up the ladder.
#1 Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard (Chelsea)
Chelsea legends Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard have a major hand in making the club as successful as it is today. The duo were very instrumental in the 21st century in bringing silverware to the club on a regular basis.
Drogba, with his deadly instincts and clinical finishing, was a monster in front of goal. Frank Lampard, on the other hand, was immense with his box-to-box and goal-scoring abilities as a midfielder. The duo were often involved in linking up and getting each other on the scoresheet.
Both players won the league thrice while playing together, making it an entertaining watch for the fans. Drogba and Lampard combined to score 36 goals together in the league, a record which might soon be overtaken by Harry Kane and Son Heung-min.
