The Reds forward not only leads the Premier League for goals and assists, but also outranks the field for big chances created (24), outdoing Arsenal's Bukayo Saka (20).

Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes has created more chances than Salah this term (84-80), with Chelsea's Cole Palmer (80) not far behind the leading pair.

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard's decisive goal contributions may have lessened this term, but the Norwegian has played more through-balls than Fernandes (14-13); Bruno Guimaraes (12) completes the top three.

Considering more defensive or ball-winning numbers, Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo leads the way for possessions won (197), though he should be looking over his shoulder with Fernandes (191) lurking; Bournemouth's Ryan Christie (182) completes the top three.
