Mohammed Salah, Pierre Emerick Aubameyang, Harry Kane, Eden Hazard, Raheem Sterling, and Sergio Aguero have all been top or joint top scorers at one point or another this season.

Salah joined Aubameyang and Harry Kane as the joint top scorer in the league after his penalty against Brighton on Saturday. However, Hazard, Aguero, and Sterling are only a few goals behind and cannot be written off in the race for the Golden Boot.

Kane limped off in Tottenham's loss to Manchester United at Wembley, as his coach expressed injury concerns. A serious knock to the Spurs man will hamper his chances of winning his third Golden Boot.

And while the title race may just be a two-horse one, we are in for one of the most keenly contested Golden Boot races in recent memory.
