Ahead of the October international break, let's take a look at which players lead the way in the most notable stats.

Despite not scoring in either of his last two games, Erling Haaland is still comfortably out in front of the goalscoring table, with his 10 goals four more than any other player in the Premier League, with Cole Palmer and Bryan Mbuemo both on six.

As for assists, Bukayo Saka currently leads the way with seven, having added two more against Southampton on Saturday afternoon. Palmer is second, with five.

When it comes to combining goals and assists, or goal contributions as they are also known, Palmer leads the way with 11, one more than Haaland, and two more than Saka.

Danny Ings remains the player with the best minutes per goal ratio, with the striker notching every 36 minutes - albeit, with only the one goal so far.

Ollie Watkins continues to lead the way in the big chances missed department, with seven. Kai Havertz and Dominic Solanke are just behind, with six.

Saka is out in front when it comes to big chances created, with 12. This puts him four ahead of Palmer who is in second place.

Mohammed Kudus has completed the most successful dribbles per game so far, with 3.2. Jadon Sancho and Adama Traore are both completing 3.0 per game. If only Traore's finishing could match that at the Etihad.

Ibrahim Sangare leads the way for tackles per game, with a monstrous five per game. Wilfred Ndidi, in second, is averaging four per game.

Despite United's struggles so far this season, making their worst start to a season since 1990, having already done that last year, Andre Onana has the most clean sheets in the league, with 4, one ahead of Alisson and David Raya. Though do note, that Alisson going off with an injury late on against Crystal Palace has deprived him of a clean sheet on his record.
