Watford midfielder Roberto Pereyra has topped the first Power Rankings this season.

The Argentine hit a looping volley past Brighton stopper Mat Ryan and grabbed a second early in the second half during a 2-0 win over Brighton, while team-mate Jose Holebas also made the top 10.

Liverpool's Sadio Mane claimed the runner-up spot after netting a double during his side's 4-0 demolition of West Ham at Anfield - although the Senegal international appeared to be offside for his second goal.

Everton's Richarlison (No 3) helped justify his £40m price tag with two goals during a 2-2 draw at Wolves, while Ruben Neves (No 6) scored his side's first equaliser from a free-kick and assisted Raul Jimenez's 80-minute leveller.

Raheem Sterling (No 8) broke the deadlock during Manchester City's 2-0 win over Arsenal, with left-back Benjamin Mendy (No 4) assisting both goals.

Crystal Palace 'keeper Wayne Hennessey (No 9) was the top-ranked stopper with six saves and a clean sheet during the Eagles' 2-0 win over newly-promoted Fulham, with team-mate Aaron Wan-Bissaka edging Luke Shaw at No 10.

The Power Rankings methodology reflects a player's performance by awarding points to players for 33 different stats.
