8= 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.Rooney and Ronaldo helped United win three titles in a row11

8= 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.Cantona (L) and Giggs (trophy) combined to help United dominate the Premier League11

7. 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.Shearer said Solano made his goals easy11

5= 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.Henry and Ljungberg won two league titles together at Arsenal11

5= 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.The duo were part of an exciting Liverpool team in the 90’s11

4. 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.Two of City’s best ever buys11

3. 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.Anderton (L) was the provider for a number of Sheringham goals11
