2) Robin van Persie – Manchester United – 9 opening goals
The consecutive Premier League Golden Boot winner has only scored 11 this season, partly because of injuries, and partly because of some average form. His strikes have normally been important though, with nine of them breaking the deadlock.
1) Daniel Sturridge – Liverpool – 9 opening goals
Sturridge has bagged 18 so far, and made a habit of scoring the game’s first as well. In Liverpool’s first three matches, Sturridge goals helped the side win 1-0, which set the tone for an impressive league campaign.
