5 duos with the best assist to goal linkup in the Premier League this season (2021-22)
The Premier League always possesses a strong test for players to link up well. English clubs are smart at recognizing the chemistry between players and putting emphasis on them in their pre-match strategies.
The likes of Andy Cole and Dwight Yorke had a solid understanding as they turned out to be extremely productive infront of goal for Manchester United. A similar type of tuning was observed between Luis Suarez & Daniel Sturridge for Liverpool, Thierry Henry & Robert Pires for Arsenal, and many other great players.
The Premier League has seen duos link up really well this season
There have been instances when a specific player has constantly been creative for a certain teammate. It is what we call an assist-to-goal link-up, which has been seen quite evidently in the Premier League lately.
Quite a few players have linked up really well to be productive in front of goal. Without further ado, let's take a look at the player duos who have linked up with each other for most goals this term:
#5 Jakub Moder to Neal Maupay (Brighton & Hove Albion)
Brighton & Hove Albion have been inconsistent lately but have still managed to stay in the top half of the league table with 30 points. The Seagulls have struggled to be productive in front of goal with just 25 goals scored in 26 games.
Manager Graham Potter will be looking for his players to score more, especially his leading goal-scorer Neal Maupay. The Frenchman has been in good form this season, having scored eight goals so far. The 25-year old striker has been clinical and has linked up well with teammate Jakub Moder.

#4 Joshua King to Emmanuel Dennis (Watford)
Watford have had their struggles this season as they face the fear of relegation with 19 points. They sit 19th in the table with 13 games in hand.
One of the positives for the Hornets this season has been the form of Emmanuel Dennis. The Nigerian has been very impressive scoring nine goals so far. His teammate Joshua King hasn't been bad either, with five goals to his name.`

King and Dennis have had a great understanding on the pitch and it is the former who has assisted the Nigerian forward three times this season. The duo will have to link up more frequently in order to get Watford out of the relegation zone.
