The Premier League is shaping up excitingly based on how things currently stand at the table. While Manchester City have a handy lead, Liverpool are close on their heels and can take advantage of any slip-ups. The race for the top four and the relegation battle are more intense than ever.
However, irrespective of the clubs and their positions, goals are a vital difference-maker.
Away goals in the Premier League are vital
While any goal is essential, scoring more in the opposition's den is quite essential. There's no home advantage to utilize and the job becomes a lot harder for any footballer.
But the next five names have been at the top of the charts so far this season when it comes to scoring away goals in the Premier League.

#5 Emmanuel Dennis - 4 goals
Watford have struggled a lot this season and their return to the Premier League hasn't gone as per plan. There have been sackings of managers and entry of new ones, but that hasn't solved the issues at hand.
Watford's main problem has been the leaky defense, but the offense hasn't helped much as well. There has been a lack of consistent goal scorers, but Emmanuel Dennis has done relatively well among the other options. This is his first season in the Premier League and Dennis has been Watford's best player this season.
He has already made 20 appearances in the Premier League, and he has contributed with eight goals and five assists. Half of those goals have come on the road and Watford will hope for similar returns for him in their pursuit of safety. They sit in 19th position at the time of writing this article and face a tough match against Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday.
#4 James Ward-Prowse - 5 goals
James Ward-Prowse is a typical no-nonsense English footballer plying his trade in the Premier League. He has been a consistent name on the domestic circuit and is known for his free-kicks. Ward-Prowse has a deadly free-kick that has troubled many opponents in the past.
Things haven't been very smooth at St. Mary's this season, but Ward-Prowse is once again having a good season. The midfielder's free-kicks might be his greatest asset, but he is also known for his accurate passes and ability to control midfield.
It was rumored that Ward-Prowse might make a switch last summer and in January but he has stuck at Southampton.
He has made 21 appearances in the league so far, in which Ward-Prowse has scored six times and assisted four. Southampton have been poor this season and fans will be hopeful of better performances in the coming days.
#3 Bernardo Silva - 5 goals
It's not easy to stand out in a Premier League side like Manchester City's, which has absolutely no shortage of quality talent. There are plenty of options to choose from in the right-wing position, but Bernardo Silva has been manager Pep Guardiola's go-to man this season.
The Portuguese is an incredibly skilled winger who relies on trickery and flair. He can play in several positions on the attack, but his most natural position is right-wing. Silva has managed to outcompete Riyad Mahrez, with Ferran Torres sold to Barcelona in January.
Silva has played in 23 Premier League games this season, and he has contributed with seven goals and an assist. Most importantly, five of his seven goals have been more valuable in the form of away goals.
#2 Diogo Jota - 5 goals
Senegal forward Sadio Mane has been on the backburner in recent times, but Liverpool haven't suffered due to the emergence of Diogo Jota. There were some doubts if the Portuguese would go to the next level. However, Jota has ultimately proven his worth with his brilliant performances and has become an essential member of Jurgen Klopp's tactics.
The Portuguese can play on the flanks as well as a striker. He has mostly played as a striker this season and has been brilliant. He fits into Liverpool's system perfectly and has been the main livewire in attack at times.
Jota has appeared in 22 Premier League games this season and has contributed with an assist and 12 goals. Nearly half of them have come in trying situations on the road that have increased his value among the Kop faithful.
#1 Mohamed Salah - 10 goals
Very few Premier League footballers have been as influential and consistent as Mohamed Salah has been to Liverpool. The Egyptian has completely transformed the look of the Reds' attack since he made the switch from Roma.
The dazzling runs and fantastic finishes have become a staple for Salah, and he has been one of the main reasons for Liverpool's success in recent times. Salah boasts of impressive trickery, pace and guile with which he gets the better of his opponents on more occasions than not.
Salah already has 25 goals involvement in 21 appearances in the Premier League, including 16 goals. Of the 16, 10 have come away from home, and Salah has been Liverpool's highest scorer on the road in the league.
