Who Will Win The Premier League Golden Boot?
Manchester City's Erling Haaland remains on course to win a second successive Premier League Golden Boot award.
The Norwegian has scored 18 goals and has a two-goal lead at the top of the goalscoring charts from Ollie Watkins, who hopes to play his way into selection for this summer's European Championships.
Liverpool's Egyptian forward Mohamed Salah is third on 15 alongside Bournemouth's Dominic Solanke.
Betting sites have Haaland as the odds-on favourite to become the first player since Salah in 2019 to win back-to-back awards.
Can any of his challengers deny him in the closing stages of the season?
Haaland Makes It Look So Easy
Before signing Erling Haaland, Manchester City sometimes played without an out-and-out striker.
In his second season, Haaland has scored 18 times in 23 league games, taking his total to an incredible 54 goals in 58 league games.
No wonder Haaland is the 2/7 favourite to add a second Golden Boot to his ever growing list of accolades.
While City won four league titles in five seasons, they continually fell short when it came to Champions League.
In Haaland's first season, City won the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup, thanks to 51 Haaland goals in those competitions.
Euro Place Beckons For Prolific Watkins
The European Championships take place this summer in Germany, and English forwards are doing all they can to impress Three Lions manager Gareth Southgate.
Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins is the leading Englishman in the race to win this season's Golden Boot award, and he can rightly plan for a busy summer at the Euros.
Watkins is two goals behind Haaland, but his 26 goal involvements is three more than that of the Norwegian.
The 28-year-old is 8/1 on football betting sites to win his first Golden Boot award and he will need a strong finish to the season if he is to surpass Haaland.
Salah's Sights Set On Fourth Golden Boot
Thierry Henry is the only player to win four Golden Boot awards in the Premier League, but the Frenchman could be joined on that total this season by Mohamed Salah.
Salah is third on the list this season with 15 goals, a hat-trick behind Haaland. Like Haaland, Salah, also 8/1, has missed a number of games due to representing Egypt at the Africa Cup of Nations.
A hamstring injury picked up during the tournament sidelined him on his return, but a goal against Manchester United in the FA Cup showed he's intent on ending the season in form.
Salah is currently 10th in the all-time list of Premier League goalscorers, but he could climb to eighth before the season ends.
He needs nine to overtake Jermain Defoe and 10 to dislodge Robbie Fowler as Liverpool's all-time leading scorer in the Premier League.
If Liverpool are to win their second Premier League title, then Salah's goals will be important.
Son Aiming For Second Award
Tottenham's Son Heung-Min shared the 2021/22 Golden Boot with Mohamed Salah, but Son's 23 goals included no penalties, while five of Salah's goals were spot kicks.
The South Korean is four goals behind Haaland, which might be too much to claw back between now and the end of the season.
Now on penalty duty following the departure of Harry Kane to Bayern Munich, Son needs a purple patch to give him a chance of winning a second Golden Boot award.
Son can be backed at 20/1 with Coral to win this season's Golden Boot award.
Golden Boot Would Be Cherry On The Top For Solanke
Of the players in with a shout of winning this season's Golden Boot award, Dominic Solanke might be the most surprising name on the list.
The Bournemouth striker shares third place with Salah on 15 goals, which is 37% of his side's league goals this season.
No player has a bigger share of their team's goals proving the importance of Solanke to the Cherries.
Three goals behind Haaland, Solanke would be a very surprising winner. The 26-year-old, who was 250/1 in pre-season is now 33/1 to land the accolade.
