The race to unseat Mohamed Salah and keep him from standing alone atop the Premier League Golden Boot record list is fast and furious.
Salah and the rest of the league are now looking up at another familiar face as Erling Haaland's finishing is lethal and he's bidding to restore order and win his third Golden Boot in four seasons.

So many players are hopeful of leading the Premier League in goals, a feat achieved by some of the biggest names to ever grace the pitches of England, and there is a crowded field gathering just behind Haaland.
There will be plenty of twists and turns en route to the trophy's collection in May.
Who won last season’s Premier League Golden Boot?
Mohamed Salah built a big lead and held on to comfortably claim his fourth Golden Boot, tying Thierry Henry for the most in Premier League history.
Salah's conquest came a year after Erling Haaland shrugged off a month on the shelf with an injury and a host of challenges to win his second-straight Golden Boot. Haaland scored 27 goals in 2023-24, nine fewer than his record-devouring 2022-23 campaign.
Who are the favorites for the 2025-26 Premier League Golden Boot?
Haaland's lead is healthy but there are a lot of intriguing possibilities including Brentford breakout Igor Thiago.
Liverpool's Alexander Isak was one of them, but his refusal to play for Newcastle put him behind the pack in an ignominious start to the season. Then he suffered an injury. New Arsenal center forward Viktor Gyokeres and Manchester United's Benjamin Sesko have found the net plenty, while old heads Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Danny Welbeck have refound their footing.
Antoine Semenyo continued to rise after his move to Man City, while Joao Pedro is now Chelsea't top finisher (Sorry, Cole Palmer).
