Premier League form rankings return as Kane and Son lead the way
Form is back! It's been a patient wait but now we can finally pintpoint those in the Premier League at the peak of their powers.
Rather than hedge your bets on gut feeling, use statistics to drive your selections. As well as celebrating some obvious in-form players, our Form Rankings identify those flying under the radar.
Our Premier League player form rankings are based on a six-game spread, weighted chronologically with the most recent outing carrying greater significance. Moreover, in order to qualify they must have played two of the last three and six of the last eight league matches available.

10. Michail Antonio (West Ham) - 7.24 form rating / £4.60 Footstock price
West Ham are remarkably unbeaten across their last four matches despite facing Wolves, Leicester, Tottenham and Manchester City, with Michail Antonio playing an integral part in their success. Left up top on his own, there aren't many better strikers at playing that role than Antonio. The 30-year-old has scored three league goals this season, netting against Arsenal, Leicester and most recently City at the weekend. Even in big games you can back Antonio to excel.
West Ham's Next Opponent: Liverpool (A)
9. Wilfried Zaha (Crystal Palace) - 7.30 form rating / £9.82 Footstock price
Another transfer window passed and another attempt to leave Crystal Palace fell through for Wilfried Zaha but he remains committed to the Eagles. Zaha has impressively already scored more league goals this season (5 in 6 apps) than he did across the whole of last season (4 in 38). After a two-match run without a goal, Zaha has now scored in back-to-back games.
Crystal Palace's Next Opponent: Wolves (A)
8. Danny Ings (Southampton) - 7.50 form rating / £16.99 Footstock price
After a poor start to the season, Southampton have really come on strong in their last four games and it's no surprise Danny Ings has spearheaded their turnaround. Ings has played a direct hand in six goals in as many appearances this season and turned in his best display of the campaign in Southampton's 2-0 win over high-flyers Everton at the weekend. Ings set up both goals, matching his tally of assists from the whole of last season (38 appearances).
Southampton's Next Opponent: Aston Villa (A)
7. Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Everton) - 7.53 form rating / £17.17 Footstock price
Dominic Calvert-Lewin has made a blistering start to the season with seven goals in six appearances. The 23-year-old scored in each of Everton's first five league games, netting a hat-trick against West Brom, before drawing a blank for the first time in defeat to Southampton at the weekend. With Richarlison suspended for a further two matches and James Rodriguez nursing a knock, Calvert-Lewin will do well to stay in the top 10 heading into the November international break.
Everton's Next Opponent: Newcastle (A)
6. Karl Darlow (Newcastle) - 7.55 form rating / £0.43 Footstock price
Karl Darlow has been a real success story for Newcastle this season. Darlow has really grapsed his opportunity with No.1 Martin Dubravka out injured and has even been playing through the pain barrier in recent weeks for the Magpies. Without Darlow, who has made at least three more saves than any other goalkeeper in the Premier League this season (29), Newcastle would certainly not have eight points on the board.
Newcastle's Next Opponent: Everton (H)
5. Patrick Bamford (Leeds) - 7.58 form rating / £6.42 Footstock price
Many felt Leeds would struggle for goals this season with Patrick Bamford up front but the ex-Chelsea striker has proved his doubters wrong. Bamford has six goals in as many league appearances this season after his treble against Aston Villa on Friday. Moreover, Bamford is the first Leeds player since Eric Cantona in 1992-93 to have this many goals after their first six league matches of the season. Not just that, but the 27-year-old has notably scored in all three of Leeds' away league matches.
Leeds' Next Opponent: Leicester (H)
4. Mo Salah (Liverpool) - 7.63 form rating / £43.47 Footstock price
Mo Salah has garnered a WhoScored.com rating in excess of 7.00 in all but one of Liverpool's first six league matches, with said rating coming last time out to Sheffield United. Nevertheless, Salah has scored six goals in as many league games for the Premier League champions this season, netting a hat-trick on the opening day of the season against Leeds. No player has had more shots than Salah (29) in the Premier League this season, while the Egypt international ranks second for most key passes (17).
Liverpool's Next Opponent: West Ham (H)
3. James Rodriguez (Everton) - 8.03 form rating / £43.96 Footstock price
James Rodriguez to Everton is arguably one of the biggest coups in Premier League history and the Real Madrid creator has hit the ground running for the Toffees. Rodriguez ranks joint-second with Salah for most key passes in the Premier League (17) and has played a direct hand in six goals in his first six league appearances for the club. Rodriguez has scored three times and registered as many assists, with Everton sitting top of the Premier League despite losing to Southampton at the weekend.
Everton's Next Opponent: Newcastle (A)
2. Son Heung-Min (Spurs) - 8.24 form rating / £28.92 Footstock price
Leading the race for this season's Golden Boot award is Tottenham's Son Heung-Min, who has eight goals in Tottenham's first six league matches. Son has scored in all but two of his appearances, remarkably scoring four in one game against Southampton, and also has two assists to take his goal contribution to 10 for the season already. He has arguably formed the most deadly partnership in Europe's top five leagues this season with Tottenham team-mate Harry Kane.
Tottenham's Next Opponent: Brighton (H)
1. Harry Kane (Spurs) - 8.59 form rating / £54.94 Footstock price
Speaking of the devil, we can now introduce the most in-form player in the Premier League: Harry Kane. The England captain has enjoyed an extraordinary start to the season with 13 goals and assists in just six outings. Kane has scored five goals and provided eight assists, with seven of those setting up Son. Kane has never provided more assists in a single league campaign and there are still 32 games to go. Moreover, he averages a goal or an assist every 41.1 minutes of playing time. Kane was already considered the best No.9 in the Premier League but he is now arguably the best No.10 as well!
Tottenham's Next Opponent: Brighton (H)
