Best in Premier League

The Premier League is back after the World Cup, as all teams restarted their campaign on Boxing Day. After years of dominance by Manchester City and Liverpool, this time, the top two feature Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal and the newest powerhouses, Newcastle United. And at the same time, Liverpool and Chelsea are languishing at sixth and eighth, respectively.

Several new stars have also emerged who have shown they have the skill to cut it out at the best league in the world. The teams also spent an obscene amount of money to acquire new players. None of them have been as successful as Erling Haaland, though, who has been scoring goals for fun. There are others also like Miguel Almiron, who has been Newcastle United’s best attacker despite being at the club before the Saudi takeover,

So, here are the stats for the 2022-23 Premier League season. 

Top Goal Scorers in 2022-23 Premier League season 

Erling Haaland: What an impressive investment Erling Haaland has been for Manchester City. The Norwegian had huge shoes to fill as City had failed to find a prolific striker who could be Sergio Kun Aguero’s successor. However, Haaland has taken to the City team like a duck to water scoring 18 goals, the most in the Premier League. This includes his three -hattricks that he scored in three consecutive matches. 

Harry Kane: One of the best strikers in the world, Harry Kane, has continued his form this season. The forward has scored 13 goals, which is why Tottenham is in the top-four race. And while he may not be in the best of minds after finishing a crucial penalty in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Antonio Conte will need him at his best if Tottenham want to get something out of the season.

Ivan Toney: The Brentford man is in the form of his life, scoring 11 goals in the current Premier League season. His latest came in the Boxing Day clash against Tottenham Hotspur. And while he may not have gone to the 2022 FIFA World Cup, his goal-scoring exploits could prompt Gareth Southgate to call up the striker. 

Aleksandar Mitrovic: Fulham have had the displeasure in recent seasons of experiencing immediate relegation after winning promotion to the Premier League. However, it seems they will buck the trend this time, and the ten goals scored by Aleksandar Mitrovic have played a big part in it. The Serbian has scored crucial goals and has the difference between relegation and survival for the Cottagers. 

Miguel Almiron:  Newcastle United are one of the wealthiest clubs in the world after the takeover by Saudi Arabia. However, despite that, their top scorer is Miguel Almiron, a player that joined before the Saudi takeover. The Spaniards’ nine goals have helped Newcastle United to climb to second place ahead of Manchester City.

Top Assists in Premier League 2022-23 season 

Kevin de Bruyne: New season, new players, but same old Kevin de Bruyne. The Belgian is among the best midfielders in the world and has shown his class this season by providing nine assists. In addition, he has been the perfect partner to Erling Haaland, which has left the opposition in complete disarray.

Bukayo Saka: Arsenal do not have any player in the top 10 goals scorer but have two players among the top five assist providers, which explains why they are top of the Premier League table. Bukayo Saka has been the creator-in-chief for Arsenal, using his speed, trickery, and impeccable passing to leave the opposition bamboozled. 

Gabriel Jesus: Gabriel Jesus is the next best man in the Arsenal team in terms of assists. The Brazilian joined the team in the summer and has taken no time to settle. Jesus has scored five goals and provided five assists and has been Arsenal’s most dangerous attacker so far in the season. 

Christian Eriksen: No one would have thought that one of the most successful transfers would be of Christian Eriksen. The Danish midfielder has been a brilliant addition to the Reds, racking up five assists. His brilliant performance has undoubtedly helped manager Erik Ten Hag turn around Manchester United’s dismal start to the season.

Alex Iwobi: It has been another season of disaster for Everton, as they are just one point above the relegation zone. However, Alex Iwobi has still been a consistent performer providing five assists which has ensured that Everton are at least not last on the Premier League table.

40 – Kevin De Bruyne has been directly involved in 40 goals in 41 games for Manchester City in 2022 (16 goals, 24 assists), more than any other Premier League player.

Top Clean Sheets in 2022-23 Premier League season 

Nick Pope: While he did not start for England in the 2022 World Cup, Nick Pope is undoubtedly the most in-form goalkeeper in the entire Premier League this season. With eight clean sheets to his name, Pope has helped Newcastle win crucial points and climb all the way to second place in the Premier League.

Aaron Ramsdale: Like Nick Pope, Aaron Ramsdale is also aiming to be England’s number-one goalkeeper. Ramsdale has kept seven clean sheets so far and helped Arsenal establish a five-point lead at the top of the Premier League. 

David de Gea: Manchester United’s incredible resurgence has been made possible by several players and goalkeeper David de Gea is one of them. The shot-stopper has kept six clean sheets and combined with a solid defensive partnership of Lisandro Martinez and Raphaël Varane. 

Ederson: Manchester City are aiming to win the Premier League for the third consecutive time. And goalkeeper Ederson has been an integral part of it. The City shot-stopper has kept six clean sheets in the current season.

Danny Ward: Leicester City are having a horrible season and are languishing 13th in the Premier League season. However, Danny Ward is among the few players that are performing to their best. The Welsh footballer has kept five clean sheets till now.

The 2022-23 Premier League season started from August 6, 2022 and will end on May 28, 2023.
