Premier League Top Scorer Odds: Three favourites and other picks

The Premier League Golden Boot race for the upcoming season is analyzed, with Erling Haaland and Mohamed Salah highlighted as the primary favourites based on recent history, having won six of the last eight awards between them. Haaland, having scored over 30 goals last season despite Manchester City's relative struggles and over 34 goals in each of his last six seasons, is expected to be even more prolific as City aims to improve, making him a formidable contender at just 25 years old.

Mohamed Salah, despite being 33, continues his remarkable consistency, scoring over 25 goals for five consecutive seasons and holding the fourth-highest Premier League goals tally. While his new Liverpool contract is positive, the potential arrival of new attacking players like Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike might mean Liverpool's goals are more distributed this season, possibly preventing Salah from topping the charts again even if he remains among the top scorers.

Alexander Isak is presented as a strong challenger, having scored 44 Premier League goals over the last two seasons. His status as a favourite depends on his club situation; he remains a top contender if he stays at Newcastle, but a potential move to Liverpool could significantly enhance his chances, positioning him as the "perfect final piece" in their attack. The article also notes that while surprise winners like Son Heung-min and Jamie Vardy have emerged before, it's rare, though new faces could still impact the race.
