Premier League Golden Boot analysis

Liverpool are the Premier League’s leading scorers with 50 goals in 18 games, so it should come as no surprise to see two of their formidable frontline leading the way in the race for the golden boot.

Mohamed Salah has taken the Premier League by storm this season and has bagged 15 of the Reds’ total while Diogo Jota has also hit double figures but is five behind the pace being set by his Egyptian teammate.

Now in his fifth season at Anfield, Salah has racked up 110 goals in 163 Premier League appearances and is yet to miss more than four games in a campaign.

Astonishingly, the 29-year-old’s high-quality performances are becoming more consistent and even if January's Africa Cup of Nations gets the green light, it is difficult to envisage how he can be stopped.

Salah has already twice landed this illustrious award and those who took the pre-season advice from The Big Kick-Off to back him each-way at 4-1 are in an excellent position - he is now as short as 4-11.

Jota could capitalise if Salah, along with Sadio Mane, has to go on international duty but there are only two Premier League games scheduled at the same time as Afcon.

The Portuguese star is available at 10-1 but looks unlikely to bridge the gap on Salah, who is also on penalty duty.

Manchester United’s Cristiano Ronaldo is second in the betting at 9-1 but has just seven goals to his name and the Red Devils don’t score enough goals to suggest he looks value.

Tottenham’s Harry Kane failed to fire this season and Romelu Lukaku’s return to Chelsea has been plagued by injury, so Salah’s biggest test may come from Jamie Vardy.

The Leicester hotshot has nine goals in 15 games, is on penalty duty and at 20-1 could fill the frame for those still looking to get involved.
