Over the years, the Premier League has played host to a number of formidable partnerships that have contributed greatly to the success of their team.Seeing two players on the same wavelength is truly joyous but terrifying for those given the task of defending against them.

Tottenham have been without talisman Harry Kane since January, so it will come as welcoming news to Spurs fans to know his return is imminent.It will also mean one of the Premier Leagues deadliest duos will reunite.Eriksen has now directly assisted Kane for 18 League goals during his time at the club and they are sure to add to that tally for many seasons to come.
118= Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United) 20 goals
Although the pair had been team-mates at United since 2004, the blossoming partnership truly came to fruition at the start of the 2006/07 season.The two men had returned from World Cup 2006 to persistent talk of ill-feeling between them following that infamous Ronaldo wink after Rooney was shown red against Portugal.Instead the pair combined for a number of important goals, including memorable strikes such as the counter attack finish against Bolton, as United won the league title for three consecutive years.
118= Ryan Giggs and Eric Cantona (Manchester United) 20 goals
Old Trafford has witnessed many great players and in Giggs and Cantona they had two of the very best.The flying Welsh winger proved to be the perfect foil for the charismatic Frenchman and together they were integral to Uniteds success in the mid 90s, until Cantona abruptly called it a day in 1997.
117. Nolberto Solano and Alan Shearer (Newcastle United) 22 goals
Shearer often mentioned how Solanos delivery made a lot of his goals easy and when the Peru midfielder was not curling in a trademark free-kick, he could usually be found setting up the Premier Leagues record goal scorer,providing 16 to Shearer in total.
115= Thierry Henry and Freddie Ljungberg (Arsenal) 24 goals
When Ljungberg left Arsenal for West Ham in 2007, he cited Henrys move to Barcelona as reason to make a decision on his own future.At their peak, the pair were unplayable – Henry setting up 15 goals while getting nine in return – and their form in the 2001/02 season took the Gunners to a second Premier League trophy under Arsene Wenger.
115= Steve McManaman and Robbie Fowler (Liverpool) 24 goals
A gangly, nimble midfielder, McManaman, along with Giggs, was one of the most exciting wide men in the early era of the Premier League and his combination with striker Fowler, (McManaman assisted for Fowler to finish 20 times) made Liverpool one of the most exciting teams to watch.The pair became synonymous with the Reds attractive brand of football under then manager Roy Evans.
114. David Silva and Sergio Aguero (Manchester City) 25 goals
It could very well be suggested the best piece of business City have done in their decade of wealth, was to sign Aguero and Silva.The two men have combined on so many occasions and led City to much success; it remains surprising they have not been handed more individual honours.
113. Teddy Sheringham and Darren Anderton (Tottenham) 27 goals
These two were part of the cult 94/95 side that also included the likes of Jurgen Kilnsmann.Sheringham, Anderton once said, could do anything with a football.And while the latter was troubled by injuries throughout his career, he and his England team-mate linked for the third highest partnership in the leagues history with Anderton largely the provider, with 20 assists to Sheringham.
112. Thierry Henry and Robert Pires (Arsenal) 29 goals
Henry features for a second time and it is with his fellow countryman he enjoyed the most profitable connection.Penalty fiasco against Manchester City aside, the French duo set up 29 goals for each other, as Henry scored 17 and Pires got 12.
111. Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba (Chelsea) 36 goals
The two players leading the way helped lead the Blues to the greatest period of success in the clubs history.The 2009/10 season was when the pair were both at their lethal best, as Chelsea won the league and Drogba took home a second Golden Boot.Lampard set up the Ivorian on 24 occasions and he repaid the favour 12 times to help Lampard become the fourth-highest scorer in Premier League history.
