Two strikers seems to be a bit of a hit this season with some teams... so who's the best?
Three partnerships immediately spring to mind...
Sturridge/Suarez (SAS)
Aguero/Negredo (Aguedo)
Van Persie/Rooney (Twin Traitors)
The stats say Aguedo... I'd have to agree based on the season so far... but the other two are pretty quality outfits - who will be the best come seasons' end? Will any of them be champions?

I'd take Neg-ro out of the options presented.
Nothing on Giroud/Özil though.
I don't think our style lends itself to Ozil/Giroud being a striking partnership as such... certainly not in the same mould as the three mentioned.
Ozil doesn't stay up front a lot, he really mixes it up, spending stretches on a flank while ramsey/rosicky/wilshere go in behind Giroud, or even dropping deep and properly playing in midfield - he did that for a big chunk of the first half against dortmund I noticed, with rosicky or ramsey ahead of him instead. Fabregas and Cazorla (in the first half of last season at least) played like second strikers at Arsenal, but I don't think we've really operated a proper 2 striker system since we had adebayor and van persie together. When Benitez went all european with the 4-2-3-1 at Liverpool everyone started to copy it. This is the first time I can remember since about 2009 that 2 strikers has been in fashion at the bigger clubs.
As a Liverpool fan, I declare my bias up front. However I do think that the twin traitors have a long history of excellence in the EPL. Don't know if that makes them the best at the moment but if you were to look back in a few years, they would stand out....for me anyway.
Loving that fact that Liverpool have more than one threat...it has been a while.
Ramsey and Rambo LOL
Sturridge and Suarez of course!!!

Negredo and Aguero are clearly the best.
Suarez is a great player but Sturridge is a flat track bully imo.
RvP and Rooney are on the decline.
Sturridge does look pretty frustrated with how much Suarez is dominating things now though. Doesn't seem like much of a "partnership".
