The Premier League’s early goal involvement race is tight, but João Pedro leads it after the opening weeks of the season with six combined goals and assists.
Chelsea forward leads the way
The Brazil international has made the biggest direct impact on Chelsea’s attacking returns so far, putting him top of the list on his own with six.
Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers are next on four, alongside Bruno Fernandes, Ryan Cherki, Cody Gakpo and Erling Haaland. Fernandes remains one of Manchester United’s main attacking outlets, while Haaland has also started the new campaign strongly.
Saka and Isak on three
Bukayo Saka and Alexander Isak sit on three combined goals and assists apiece, just behind the group above.
The numbers underline how closely packed the league’s most productive attackers have been in the early part of the season, with Chelsea placing two players among the leading names and Manchester City and Manchester United also represented near the top.
