The race to the English Premier League Golden boot
Harry Kane

The Premier league continues to provide some stunning entertainment for football fans. Prior to the season the betting suggested it would all be about the dual between defending champions Manchester City and Liverpool.

It has looked that way for much of the season so far, with Tottenham also continuing to keep tabs on the top two. There have been a number of high scoring players who continue to challenge for the golden boot.

Here we cover the favourites to win the race come the end of the season.

Harry Kane

The current favourite to win the race to the golden boot is Tottenham’s Harry Kane who is a general 2/1. Punters have been supporting this using the bet365 bonus code Australia.

This is no surprise considering he is leading the way with 14 goals scored and four assists from the opening 21 league fixtures.

Kane has a 61% shot on target ratio this season, and has an average of 128 minutes per goal this season. He has won two of the last three seasons, so is a strong favourite to regain his title.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

Arsenal’s Aubameyang is second in the betting at present at odds of 3/1. He has a very prolific goal scoring record where ever he has played, so it is no surprise he is challenging this season.

He will be hopeful of winning the race if Arsenal can continue to have a successful season under the new manager.

From the opening 21 league fixtures he has scored 14 goals with three assists. He has a 56% shot on target ratio this season and an average of 118 minutes per goal.

Mohamed Salah

The current defending champion following his incredible season last year for Liverpool is Mohamed Salah.

Following a slow start he is now finding last season’s form, and has been key to the successful start that Liverpool have made this season.

He has scored 13 goals, with seven assists and has a shots on target ratio of 65% so far this season.

Salah also has an average of 135 minutes per goal and can be backed at around 3/1 to again win the race to the golden boot.

Sergio Aguero

The final player who looks to have a realistic chance of winning the golden boot this season is Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero.

His problem in the past has been picking up regular injuries, which has put paid to his chances of winning the title.

With the club playing very attacking football at present he must have a strong chance of winning the title this season.

Aguero has scored 10 goals, and has five assists from the opening 21 fixtures. This includes a shots on target ratio of 47%.

He can currently be backed at a general 7/1 for the title and has an average minutes per goal of 126 so far this season.
