Manchester City have been on a tear, winners of 19 straight matches overall, and a ten-point advantage over archrivals Manchester United in the standings. Pep Guardiola’s side look near unbeatable and most likely will win the Premier League this season. Still, it might surprise a few to know that Man City does not have any of the top 5 goal scorers of the league this season.

With 25 games played, the top 5 leading scorers of the Premier League are separated by only 4 goals, the scoring race is tight and while Mohamed Salah might be at the top for the moment, he has four very good goal scorers in back of him.

Betting on a future could be tricky, especially considering that a player might hit a low streak or face injury, here we will examine the top 5 Premier Leagueleading scorers and their chances to win the golden boot as per DraftKings odds.

The Liverpool target man, Mohamed Salah, has scored 17 goals in 24 games for the reds. Liverpool have been hit by a poor run of form and the squad have been hit by personal situations that make the mood at the club a bit more difficult. Salah might seem like a sure bet, but don’t put it all on him, at -118, not much upside if the bettor picks him.

Bruno Fernandes

The oddsmakers might have given the bettor an advantage by placing Bruno Fernandes at +650 to win the scoring title. Fernandes has 15 goals so far and Manchester United have scored a lot of goals this season and he might just surprise many and win the scoring title.

Harry Kane

Harry Kane is at +650 and at 22 games has scored 13 on the season. Spurs is Spurs, they are having a inconsistent year and Kane will score goals but winner of the Golden Boot? Looks doubtful, he’d be a risky pick.

Jamie Vardy

Never count out Jamie Vardy, at 12 goals for the season and with Leicester City having a great season he could be a dark horse to win the scoring title. At +1100, I like Vardy’s chances and he is paying out well too.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin

Dominic Calvert-Lewin rounds out the top five and at +1200, he is the longest of long shots, despite having one more goal than Vardy. Everton is not a high scoring team so his chances of winning the golden boot against the players on this list seems remote.
