The Premier League has had its fair share of iconic duos over the years.<\/strong><\/p>\n

From Dwight Yorke and Andrew Cole to John Terry and Ricardo Carvalho via Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp, key partnerships have been instrumental to success in the English top-flight in the last two-and-a-half decades.<\/p>\n

But these relationships between two specific players aren’t exclusive to the top clubs. Indeed, there are currently definitive pairings throughout the division, emblematic of the Premier League’s varied style and entertainment value.<\/p>\n

So below, we’ve picked out the top 10 iconic duos in the Premier League right now.<\/p>\n

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette<\/strong><\/h2>\n

At times this season, Unai Emery has been forced to choose between the two centre-forwards in his squad, Aubameyang and Lacazette. Ultimately, though, the pair belong on the pitch together as they complement each other perfectly.<\/p>\n

Lacazette is the harder worker, the supporting player who has provided nine assists in his 29 league appearances this term. Aubameyang has more of a nose for goal; he is the Premier League’s joint-second top scorer with 17 goals.<\/p>\n

In the 21 matches they’ve started together, the pair have scored 24 combined goals and provided 10 assists. And when either one scores, they are always quite literally on hand to congratulate one another with their trademark celebration.<\/p>\n

Diogo Jota and Raul Jimenez <\/strong><\/h2>\n

When Wolves made the step up to the Premier League last year, there were question marks over whether some of their players would adapt.<\/p>\n

But the forwards have proved to be two of Wolves’ key men in the push for a top-seven finish and FA Cup glory. As evidence, following a three-game winless run in early March, Jota and Jiminez scored within two minutes of each other to secure a vital victory over Cardiff.<\/p>\n

And two weeks later they were at it again, bagging a goal each within six minutes of each other to knock Manchester United out of the FA Cup. With Jimenez at No.9 and Jota floating around him, the duo pose an enviable threat.<\/p>\n
