The English Premier League has been at its brilliant best so far this season. There has been no shortage of drama, brilliant goals and shocking results as some of the world’s best teams vye for the trophy at the end of the season.
Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City lead the way so far seven games in – Liverpool have started strongly under new manager Arne Slot, Arsenal look a force to be reckoned with thanks to their miserly defence and efficient attacking play, and Manchester City still look able to carve teams apart at will going forward.
Chelsea are perhaps the surprise package so far – after a couple of difficult seasons they have hit their stride under Enzo Maresca thanks to the performances of some exciting young players.
Here are the top 5 best players in the league so far, thanks to WhoScored!

5. Mo Salah – 7.66 WhoScored rating
Mo Salah has been arguably Liverpool’s most consistent EPL player ever since joining the league in 2017, and he doesn’t look like slowing down this year. Still doing the job at 32-years-old, five goals and four assists since the start of the season, including a superb 9.18 rating in a 3-0 demolition of rivals Manchester United, has highlighted his importance to Liverpool. In what could be his final season in England, Salah will want to keep this form up as Slot looks for silverware in his debut season.
4. Kevin De Bruyne – 7.79 WhoScored rating
Another one of the Premier League’s most consistent performers over the last decade, Kevin De Bruyne has been at his brilliant best when available this season for Manchester City. A goal and assist against Ipswich has been the Belgian’s outstanding display so far – City will want their creative king back on the pitch as soon as possible.
3. Cole Palmer – 7.96 WhoScored rating
Cole Palmer’s rise in the last year has been nothing short of sensational, and he now looks established at the top of the mountain alongside some of the world’s very best. Now shining as a roaming number 10 in Enzo Maresca’s new-look Chelsea system, the majority of Palmer’s 11 goals and assists have come from two world class displays. Against Wolves Palmer scored a 9.28 as he scored once and provided three assists for Noni Madueke before scoring a perfect 10 after a first half four-goal salvo wowed the crowd at Stamford Bridge against Brighton.
2. Erling Haaland – 8.11 WhoScored rating
Erling Haaland has started this season as he means to go on, with a remarkable 10 goals in the opening seven matches. Two back-to-back hat-tricks in two of City’s opening matches notched him 9.44 and 9.53 ratings respectively against Ipswich and West Ham, with a double against Brentford extending his lead at the top of the golden boot race. It is testament to Haaland’s quality that a recent two match dry streak is seen as a drought – he will no doubt be back to his best after a strong start to the league season.
1. Bukayo Saka – 8.25 WhoScored rating
Arsenal’s starboy Bukayo Saka has reached new heights this season and has been rated as the best player in the league so far this season. Seven assists and two goals in the opening seven matches has underlined his importance to Arsenal’s attacking play – in the one match that he didn’t assist in so far this season, he scored a stunning 9.63 on WhoScored in a talismanic display, dragging Arsenal to three points. Mikel Arteta’s main man has put The Gunners on his back creatively in the absence of captain Martin Odegaard and continues to wow supporters across the globe with his superb consistency.
