Punters continue to dodge 16-1 Salah in Golden Boot race

The footballer who has bagged more Premier League goals than any other player going into this round of top-flight fixtures is still available at 16-1 to win the Golden Boot as punters continue to dodge Mohamed Salah in the race to finish as top goalscorer.

Nine-goal Salah, a 66-1 shot at the start of the campaign, still remains relatively unconsidered with five players ahead of him in the betting despite his stunning start to life at Anfield.

Salah is averaging a goal every 104 minutes in this season's Premier League, which is better than Tottenham's Harry Kane, and he should be fired up to beat former club Chelsea, who may be feeling it was another costly error to allow the Egyptian leave Stamford Bridge, just as it was with Romelu Lukaku and Kevin De Bruyne.

Liverpool's flying winger has an excellent record against the Blues anyway with four goals in three matches against them and bet365 offer 4-1 that Salah outscores Chelsea on his own. It's also 5-1 with the same firm that Salah scores at least 25 league goals this season.Cristiano Ronaldo has made the worst start to a La Liga season in his career, scoring once in his 720 minutes of action, but the Real Madrid superstar should welcome the visit of Malaga. Ronaldo has scored 14 times against them in just 15 appearances.
