8) Edin Dzeko/David Silva – 15

A surprisingly effective pairing, Manchester City duo Edin Dzeko and David Silva have combined for 15 goals in total during their time together at the Etihad Stadium, despite many viewing Silva and Sergio Aguero as the team’s most dangerous duo.

7) Wayne Rooney/Cristiano Ronaldo – 20

A partnership that served Manchester United very well in their hugely successful period between 2006 and 2009, Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo combined for 20 goals for the club, with the Portuguese star particularly prolific in that time.

6) Eric Cantona/Ryan Giggs – 20

Another awesome combo in United’s history, Eric Cantona and Ryan Giggs also worked together to contribute 20 goals between them for the Red Devils.

5) Alan Shearer/Nolberto Solano – 24

Another slightly surprising duo, but Alan Shearer and Nolberto Solano struck up a fine understanding in their time together for Newcastle United, as they laid on 24 goals for each other.

4) Robbie Fowler/Steve McManaman – 24

A legendary partnership at Liverpool, Robbie Fowler owed many of his goals to the wing wizardry of Steve McManaman.

3) Teddy Sheringham/Darren Anderton – 27

Two Tottenham greats, Darren Anderton and Teddy Sheringham worked superbly together to combine 27 times for the White Hart Lane club.

2) Thierry Henry/Robert Pires – 29

Two players with an almost telepathic understanding, it’s surprising not to see Thierry Henry and Robert Pires in first place, with the Arsenal legends working together to score 29 goals for the Gunners.

1) Didier Drogba/Frank Lampard – 36

In first place is the deadly duo of Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard at Chelsea. The pair are certainly up there with the Blues’ best-ever players, and together made 36 goals for each other in their time at Stamford Bridge.
