Premier League top scorers – who will win the 2020/21 Golden Boot?
Check out the full list of Premier League top scorers battling for glory in 2020/21 – which stars are in contention for the Golden Boot?
Premier League top scorers have two games left to stake their claim for the Golden Boot in 2020/21.
It's been a tumultuous season to say the least in the top flight of English football, but the regulars have continued to show up with scintillating performances despite a lack of fans.
Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min's deadly partnership saw the pair sail into an early lead at the start of 2020/21, but Liverpool and Manchester United boast a pair of firm challengers, with the Golden Boot very much up for grabs in the final week.
Several key players from teams outside of the so-called big six have enjoyed tremendous season. The trophy may be just out of reach, but stranger things have happened, and knocking on the 20+ door isn't out of the question if they put in big shifts this week.
The marathon is almost over and now it's time to empty the tank on the final straight, but who will ultimately lift the Premier League Golden Boot at the end of 2020/21?

Who will win the Premier League Golden Boot 2020/21?
All eyes are fixed on the two favourites leading the pack: Kane and Salah. Both head into the final week on 22 goals with both teams still motivated to battle for points.
Liverpool are surging up towards the Champions League places, while Tottenham are wrestling to nail down a Europa League place, and neither side needs to rest their players for upcoming finals.
Kane came close on several occasions at the weekend against Wolves and will be determined to fire his way out in front. Salah also notched on Sunday as Liverpool beat West Brom.
Spurs look more competent and free to attack under Ryan Mason's guidance lately, which may just give Kane the edge over a slightly more tentative, injury-riddled Liverpool.
Beyond the main pair, Fernandes sits four goals short with 18, followed by Son on 17 and Calvert-Lewin on 16. Theoretically, Fernandes scoring back-to-back braces isn't out of the question, but it looks like this is a two-horse race.
