THE PREMIER LEAGUE is one of the best competitions in the world – if not THE best.
That is down to many reasons, such as star-studded squads, magnificent stadiums, clubs with rich history and of course fantastic goalscorers.
Here are the Premier League’s Top 10 worst finishers so far this season

However, even the Prem has its downsides – such as misfiring strikers, some of which were bought at a high cost.
And Chelsea’s £32million signing Nicolas Jackson tops the unflattering list so far in the 2023–2024 season, which is admittedly at a very early stage.
Jackson, who is the Blues’ only reliable centre-forward following Christopher Nkunku’s injury, should have scored three goals so far but only managed one.
The Senegal international has also missed six major chances in the first four matches.
The 22-year-old’s Chelsea team-mate – and the club’s former record signing – Enzo Fernandez is third with zero goals out of an expected 1.4.
Fernandez has taken 10 shots, but only one of them hit the target and that was a penalty saved by West Ham goalkeeper Alphonse Areola.
Aston Villa boss Unai Emery might want to work with his lead striker Ollie Watkins a little more as he’s second on the list with no goals out of an expected 1.8 despite his Europa Conference League heroics.
Brentford will be hoping Neal Maupay will have better aim during his season-long loan stint at the Gtech Community Stadium as he is No4 on the list.
Maupay should have had almost two goals for Everton by now after missing five shots, four of which were on target.
Wolves boss Gary O’Neil should be dealing with quite a headache with three of his players on that list.
Those are Pedro Neto in fifth, Fabio Silva in seventh and Mathus Cunha in ninth place.
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes is sixth with one goal out of an expected 2.1.

Everton star Abdoulaye Doucoure is in eighth place with one goal out of an expected 1.9 and manager Sean Dyche should be expecting better after fielding him as an attacking midfielder.
Crystal Palace’s Jordan Ayew is last, even though he was voted as the Eagles’ player of the month in August, as he has taken 12 shots in four games and only hit the target three times.
