Pascal Gross and Fabian Hurzeler earn top Premier League honours from pundits after stunning start.

Brighton midfielder Pascal Gross has been widely hailed as the Premier League's standout player of the season so far. The 35-year-old, now in his second spell with the club, has started every league game and delivered three goals and four assists, with only Erling Haaland and Evanilson combining for more goal contributions. Gross has also created more chances than any other player in the division and covered more ground than anyone else.

Manager Fabian Hurzeler was the near-unanimous choice for manager of the season, having guided Brighton to second place with seven wins from their opening ten matches. His side are the Premier League's top scorers and have beaten both Arsenal and Manchester City, as well as hammering Aston Villa.

Hurzeler was praised for adapting his tactics to specific opponents, notably making the match chaotic and physically demanding to beat Arsenal rather than trying to outplay them. He has achieved this despite selling important players and suffering injuries to key men like Kaoru Mitoma and Yankuba Minteh, all while managing the added challenge of European football.

Other players receiving recognition included Arsenal's Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice, Manchester City's Rayan Cherki, and Liverpool loanee Ronald Araujo.
