Liverpool's Strike duo are taking the league by storm.

As it stands, Liverpool FC is on course to be the unlikeliest champions in the history of the Premier League, something that even the most optimistic supporter would never have considered at the start of the year. After all the fallen giants finished last season in seventh place, 28 points behind Manchester United and were facing a season without any sort of European competition for the first time in 12 years, Brendan Rodgers and his team were expected to be in a tough fight for the top four places, not sitting on top of the table with their fate in their hands.

There are a number of driving forces that are seemingly propelling Liverpool back into the glory days of yesteryear, the imperious form of Steven Gerrard in a new, more withdrawn role, the emergence of Jordan Henderson and Raheem Sterling as two of the hottest young English players, and the adaptive, ever changing tactics of Rodgers have all been touted by respected football minds as reasons behind the title push, but there is only one factor that could have put them at such lofty heights, the goal scoring exploits of their front two.

Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge have scored 49 goals between them, more than the total goal output of 13 other Premier League clubs and on course to break the 55-goal mark set by Cole and Beardsley of Newcastle United, a record that has stood since 1993 when teams played 42 games as opposed to the 38. The duo's goal scoring exploits are all the more special in modern day football, an era that has seen the rise of the single striker, supported by quick, skillful attacking midfielders, a system perfectly exemplified at title rivals Chelsea, who rely on their midfielders for the grand majority of the goals they have scored.

In addition to honing in on the record for a striker partnership, Luis Surez looks almost certain to break the record for goals in a 32- game season, set by Cristiano Ronaldo, after netting his 29th of the season against Tottenham last week, a feat made all the more extraordinary when his absence in the first five games of the season is considered. Sturridge as well has missed a chunk of the season through injury, yet the pair still finds themselves firmly in first and second spots in the scoring charts this season.

With the rest of the team chipping in for a massive total of 88 goals at the time of writing, this Liverpool side firmly has their fate in their own hands, it's quite simple, if they win their remaining six, nobody can catch them, and based on current form, it's hard to see who could.
