5 contenders for Premier League's Golden Boot award for 2018/19 season

Liverpool v Brighton and Hove Albion - Premier League
The battle to replace Mo Salah would be fierce

#4 Romelu Lukaku (Manchester United)

Chelsea v Manchester United - The Emirates FA Cup Final
If Man United can up its creativity, expect Lukaku to get a hatful of goals

Manchester United's record signing will be raring to go after a successful first season which was followed by a decent World Cup. Despite the hoopla about his poor first touch, the Belgian still managed to put away 27 goals and make 9 assists in his debut season as the Red Devils' new leading man following the injuries/subsequent departure of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

All this came despite playing in a very poor United side that struggled to create enough chances especially against the bigger teams in the Premier League and Europe. With Alexis Sanchez looking well rested as well as the addition of creativity in the form of Brazilian midfielder Fred, the Red Devils should be able to create more chances for their Belgian main man that they did last season.

With his strength, pace, eye for goal and all-around play, Lukaku will fancy himself to deliver another 20+ goal season and lead the charge for the Old Trafford side's first Premier League title since the Sir Alex Fergeuson era.
