Son Heung-min leads the way with eight goals, meanwhile Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison have three.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The trio have also recorded six combined assists, with Maddison contributing five of those.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Surprisingly, Chelsea&#8217;s trio of Nicolas Jackson,\u00a0Cole Palmer and Raheem Sterling are next in the rankings above Arsenal&#8217;s Eddie Nketiah, Bukayo Saka and Martinelli.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Jackson&#8217;s six goals combined with Palmer and Sterling&#8217;s four each contribute to their cumulative total of 17 goals and assists.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In comparison,

surprisingly been more lethal than Arsenal<\/p>\n<p>Befitting to their struggles so far this season, Man United&#8217;s attacking frontline of Marcus Rashford, Rasmus Hojlund and Antony have only recorded one combined goal and assist so far this season.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Both the goal and assist have come from Rashford &#8211; who scored 30 goals across all competitions last season for United.\u00a0The wait goes on for Antony and Hojlund to get off the mark this season.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now looking at which teams have the best attacking duos, Nunez and Salah top the leaderboard for the most assists and chances created.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Liverpool duo have assisted each other five times so far this season, with Nunez providing four of them.<\/p>\n<p>They have also created 19 chances for each other, with Salah providing a Premier League high 13 of them, which is seven more than City&#8217;s Haaland and Alvarez.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal&#8217;s Saka and Trossard are tied with Maddison and Son and the Wolves duo Hwang Hee-chan and Pedro Neto for creating three assists for each other.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\"

season than the Manchester side which might suggest a different style of play.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, more Spurs players have contributed to goals this season than City.<\/p>\n<p>When looking at the combined playing time out of these front threes, City&#8217;s Haaland, Alvarez and Foden have spent the most time on the pitch together at 2,941 minutes, playing in 33 games.<\/p>\n<p>In comparison, United&#8217;s front three have only played 29 times together and for 2,080 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Tottenham&#8217;s attacking frontline of Son, Maddison and Richarlison have played together for the second most amount of time at 2,568 minutes while Arsenal&#8217;s attack is in third.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Despite combining to score 18 goals together, Nunez, Salah and Jota have only played 2,232
