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?

If you are old and wise you were probably young and stupid
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.

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.

Three for me, and two for them.
Sturridge does look pretty frustrated with how much Suarez is dominating things now though. Doesn't seem like much of a "partnership".
