Which players top the charts for goals, assists, clean sheets and more?

It is no surprise to see Erling Haaland out in front as the early favourite to win the Coca-Cola Golden Boot award in 2026/27 — the 26-year-old Norwegian has finished three of the last four seasons as the top goalscorer in the Premier League. Although he didn’t score on the opening weekend of this campaign, he has since netted in four successive matches for Manchester City.

Liverpool’s Alexander Isak has started the new season in fine form too, scoring four times from his seven shots on target. The Swede has already bettered the three goals he netted in 14 Premier League appearances in 2025/26.

Several players have registered three assists apiece during the early part of 2026/27, including Joao Pedro and Pascal Gross who have also scored three goals each.

All three assists from Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo have set up the club's top scorer Isak, making their combination the most productive in the Premier League after five rounds of matches.

Five different goalkeepers, including Hull City's Konstantinos Tzolakis, have shut out the opposition three times already this season.

Everton's No 1 Jordan Pickford has the best statistical record, conceding only three goals. His impressive 83.3 per cent save ratio is only bettered by his fellow England goalkeeper, Leeds United’s James Trafford.

Meanwhile, Arsenal’s David Raya — winner of the Coca-Cola Golden Glove award in the last three seasons — has started well in his bid to become the Premier League clean-sheets king once again.

A couple of players who enjoyed stellar individual seasons in 2025/26 have carried on where they left off in the early weeks of 2026/27.

Morgan Gibbs-White and Granit Xhaka are proving to be as influential as ever for Nottingham Forest and Sunderland respectively, both creating five big chances for team-mates.

Xhaka is unlucky that none of those chances have been converted, while Gibbs-White has two to his name in our assists table above.

Leeds have been in terrific form so far this season, with their industrious off-the-ball work being especially eye-catching.

Two of Daniel Farke's central midfielders, Ethan Ampadu and Anton Stach, and impressive new centre-back Tarik Muharemovic all rank inside the Premier League's top five for most interceptions after five rounds of games, with 11 apiece.

Brentford's all-action midfield man Vitaly Janelt leads the way on 16 interceptions.

Manchester United's forwards are fortunate to have two of the Premier League's most inventive progressive passers supplying them with ammunition this season.

Bruno Fernandes and Youri Tielemans both love to play line-breaking through-balls in advanced areas, and that is reflected by a combined tally of 108 passes of that type after just five games.

Despite operating in a slightly deeper role right now, Arsenal's Declan Rice is sandwiched between those two creative midfielders with an impressive 57 line-breaking passes in the final third.

Man City stars Rayan Cherki and Antoine Semenyo have scored five goals between them from a combined Expected Goals (xG) of 1.06, which outlines the quality of their finishing in the early weeks of this campaign.

Brentford pair Kevin Schade and Janelt have also been particularly potent, with the latter scoring with both of his only two shots on target so far this season.

Summer signing Lukas Hornicek has made a tremendous impact for Newcastle United, producing 19 saves in five appearances; the second-highest tally in the division.

Hornicek may have conceded nine times but according to Opta, the damage could have been a lot worse, with the 24-year-old preventing an extra 3.2 goals finding the back of his net. Man City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma has also been a difference maker.

Stellar performances against Man Utd, AFC Bournemouth and Coventry City mean the Italian has stopped an additional 2.6 goals being conceded.
