The Premier League 2022/23 season gets underway on August 5 and will run through to the end of May, with a six-week break in November and December for the World Cup in Qatar.

There is already plenty of focus on the title race, the top-four tussle, and the relegation battle, but the fight to win the Golden Boot is also worth watching.

It usually requires at least 20 goals to be in with a shout of finishing as the Premier League top scorer, with 25 sufficient to win the prize in each of the last four seasons. Let’s take a look at the main contenders.

Manchester City won the Premier League title last season without a recognized center-forward, but Pep Guardiola moved to sign a proven goalscorer in that position this summer. Erling Haaland is the favorite to finish as the top scorer, but Mohamed Salah and Harry Kane will expect to challenge for the award.

Darwin Nunez, who has in effect replaced Sadio Mane at Liverpool, is the joint-fourth favorite alongside Cristiano Ronaldo. Son Heung-min looks like good value given he won a share of the Golden Boot last time out, while Diogo Jota, Jamie Vardy, and Julian Alvarez are outsiders.
