5= Steve McManaman and Robbie Fowler (Liverpool) 24 goals

A gangly, nimble midfielder, McManaman, along with Giggs, was one of the most exciting wide men in the early era of the Premier League and his combination with striker Fowler, (McManaman assisted for Fowler to finish 20 times) made Liverpool one of the most exciting teams to watch.The pair became synonymous with the Reds attractive brand of football under then manager Roy Evans.The duo were part of an exciting Liverpool team in the 90’s11
