Ranking the Premier League’s best front threes: Man Utd fifth and Chelsea denied top spot | OneFootball

Premier League teams reshuffled their attacking options over the summer, but which side has the best front three?

Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City all added fresh options this summer, with some signed for astronomical fees as the 20 Premier League clubs spent a combined £3.5bn.

We've ranked the best front threes in thePremier League right now.

5. Manchester United - Matheus Cunha, Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo

Manchester United overhauled their frontline during the 2025 summer transfer window, as Matheus Cunha, Benjamin Sesko and Bryan Mbeumo all arrived in the same window.

The trio all reached 10+ goals in the Premier League as Manchester United secured a top-four finish and Champions League qualification. Each guarantees reliable returns, but do not quite fit into an elite bracket as things stand.

4. Arsenal - Christos Tzolis, Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka

Arsenal signed Viktor Gyokeres as the missing piece of the puzzle last summer, and the Swedish striker scored 21 goals in all competitions last season.

However, Mikel Arteta has reverted toKai Havertz as first-choice forward, valuing the German's all-round game. Arsenal had hoped to sign a marquee forward to fit alongside Havertz and Bukayo Saka this summer, though that role will instead be occupied by Christos Tzolis.

The Greek international recorded 59 goals and assists for Club Brugge last season, but the Premier League is a big step up.

3. Chelsea - Morgan Rogers, Joao Pedro, Cole Palmer

Chelsea's new-look frontline has started the season in style, with seven goals scored across wins against Fulham and Brighton.

Joao Pedro scored 23 goals during an impressive debut campaign at Stamford Bridge, while Cole Palmer has become a Premier League poster boy in West London. Palmer's sharp start to the season has been welcomed, alongside close friend and record signing Morgan Rogers.

Xabi Alonso's system gives real freedom to Rogers and Palmer in the pockets, a scary scenario for opposition sides.

2. Liverpool - Bradley Barcola, Alexander Isak, Cody Gakpo

Andoni Iraola will be rubbing his hands together after Liverpool's forward showed signs of clicking into gear on Friday night.

Cody Gakpo has started the season like a player with a point to prove after almost leaving for Manchester City, with the Dutchman recording two wonderful assists for Alexander Isak at Ipswich.

Isak has hit three goals in three league games, already matching his return from a tough first season at Anfield. The Swede scored 54 goals in 86 league games for Newcastle to cement a reputation as one of the league's leading number nines. If he can get back to that form, Liverpool have a real game-changer.

Bradley Barcola, a back-to-back Champions League winner with PSG, has arrived in a big-money deal to add further firepower.

1. Manchester City - Rayan Cherki, Erling Haaland, Antoine Semenyo

Manchester City top our rankings of the best Premier League frontlines. City's case is helped by the irrepressibleErling Haaland, whose mind-boggling goal record shows no sign of slowing down.

Haaland is thefastest footballer in Premier League history to have reached 50 and 100 goals in the division, and has now notched 115 in 135 games for the Cityzens.

Rayan Cherki's twinkle-toed football has been a delight to watch, though it's style with substance, averaging a Premier League goal or assist every 98 minutes.
