Goals Scored: 6

If it was Mohamed Salah's year last season, the baton seems to have been passed to Sadio Mane this time. With Liverpool's electrifying Egyptian experiencing a relatively slow start to the season, the Senegalese has taken up the responsibilities and delivered fabulously. Mane has scored 7 goals from 13 games in all competitions so far and in the Premier League, he has scored 6 goals from 9 games.

Mane played 2 games in October, which started with the 0-0 draw against Manchester City. He missed out the away win over Huddersfield due to a fractured finger, but returned against Cardiff last weekend, scoring a brace. The Senegalese also opened his account in the UEFA Champions League last week, scoring against Red Star.

Mane has registered just 3 shots in the two games he appeared in October, but 2 of them were on target and he ended up with 2 goals! Last season, he scored 10 goals from 29 games and the Senegalese will be confident of bettering those stats this season. At the start of November, Mane is ranked 4th among the top ten contenders for the Premier League Golden Boot.
