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.
