Newcastle United represented in stats experts’ Team of the Season so far and photos of the players in action

The Premier League season may only be eight weeks old but plenty of players have already made a big impression.

Manchester City’s free-scoring striker Erling Haaland has got into his stride and further enhanced his reputation as one of world football’s most-feared frontmen.

The Norway international has been helped by the form of inspirational midfielder Kevin De Bruyne - but it’s Arsenal that top the table as the league takes a break for the international break.

Mikel Arteta’s side have hit form with the likes of Gabriel Jesus, William Saliba and Aaron Ramsdale all playing a part as the Gunners look to mount a serious challenge for honours this season.

And former Newcastle United frontman Aleksander Mitrovic has enjoyed a profitable return to the top tier after his goals helped Fulham move into the top six after their promotion from the Championship.

But several current Magpies favourites have also impressed in the early weeks of the campaign and they have done enough to secure a place in the WhoScored Team of the Season so far.
