Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy
The turnaround at Leicester City has been astonishing in recent months; the Foxes have gone from relegation certainties, surviving last term with a hot streak of form, to the Premier League's most rampant team, with two of the top-three goalscorers in English football.
Riyad Mahrez has come out of nowhere, arriving at Leicester in 2014 from the French second division to become one of the most exciting players in the Premier League.
Mahrez and Jamie Vardy have led Leicester to new heights in the past few weeks, with the team high on confidence and near impossible to beat.
The two players stole victory from the hands of Stoke City in the second half on Saturday, with the Potters 2-0 up and cruising to the win.
However, Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri's attackers once again delivered the goods and sealed a vital draw for the visitors.
Squawka.com highlighted Mahrez's devastating form this season, making him one of Europe's most impressive performers:
Vardy has been the perfect complement to Mahrez's skill, giving his side a potent option in the striker's role.
The England international already has four goals to his name, per WhoScored.com, leaving him just one short of his full season tally of 2014-15. The two players have scored nine of their side's 13 Premier League goals, placing the Foxes in the Champions League positions.
BBC's Dan Walker pointed towards Mahrez and Vardy's pace up front as a telling factor in their recent success:
Equal with Mahrez in the scorer charts is Bournemouth's Callum Wilson, who has five goals from six matches, according to WhoScored. The south-coast side earned a vital win against whipping boys Sunderland on Saturday, keeping them nestled in mid-table.
Wilson was unproven at the top level of English football before this campaign, but his efforts will surely make him a target for many bigger sides when the January transfer window opens.
It is too early to tell if this term is a breakout year for both Mahrez and Wilson, but both players have started off on the right foot, supplying goals for two of the least-fancied teams in the league.
Mahrez has been the subject of speculation linking him with a move to Barcelona, per talkSPORT (h/t ESPN), but he will be forced to continue to shine in order to trigger such an unlikely transfer.
However, if both players continue to find the back of the net on a regular basis, their values will continue to rocket, placing them at the forefront of the mind's of the top club managers in England and abroad.
