Premier League top scorers 2022/23: Who is leading the race for the Golden Boot?

Once again, Liverpool superstar Salah is expected to be right at the top of the standings but he will face fierce competition.

New Manchester City signing Erling Haaland, Tottenham’s Harry Kane and Son Heung-min as well as Gabriel Jesus at Arsenal are all candidates to net the most.

Liverpool also brought in Darwin Nunez and Ronaldo is a sure bet to score plenty at an underperforming Manchester United.

Outsiders for the gong are the likes of Callum Wilson at Newcastle, Raheem Sterling at Chelsea and Jamie Vardy at Leicester.

Who scored in the Premier League this week?

With Manchester City not in action in the midweek round of fixtures, others had a chance to close the gap on Erling Haaland.

Harry Kane was unable to do so though as Tottenham lost 2-0 to Manchester United at Old Trafford.

There were goals for Miguel Almiron as Newcastle won again and Wilfried Zaha as Crystal Palace continue to impress.

Aleksandar Mitrovic has his chance tonight as Fulham take on Aston Villa.
