The ultimate Premier League review: Haaland, Gabriel Jesus & the best players so far

As the Premier League pauses to reflect on the life of Queen Elizabeth II, GOAL has a look at some of the best performing players so far

Six games have come and gone in the 2022-23 Premier League season and what a rollercoaster we have had so far. We've seen the lot – a 9-0 hammering, sensational comebacks and we even got a sequel to one of the most entertaining Premier League games in history with 'Battle of the Bridge II' between Chelsea and Tottenham.

Erling Haaland has broken record after record with a dazzling goal-scoring run, whilst Aleksandar Mitrovic is proving week in, week out that he can cut it at this level.

We've already seen some managers relieved of their duties, notably Thomas Tuchel at Chelsea, who has since been replaced by Graham Potter.

Last seasons runners-up, Liverpool, have endured an unusual start, with star men Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salahfar off the level we know they can reach.

The Reds' poor form has allowed north London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham to flex their muscles, while Manchester United have recovered from early bruisings against Brighton and Brentford to sit five points off the top of the table.

But who have been the best player so far? GOAL has crunched the numbers and found out who has shone so in the opening weeks of the Premier League season:
