Haaland turned creator in Man City's victory over Newcastle but will no doubt be back in the goals soon as he aims to boost their title charge.

The Norwegian is hunting a third Golden Boot in his fourth season since arriving at the club and it is hard to see anyone catching him.

Mohamed Salah stormed to the top scorer crown last season as Liverpool lifted the Premier League but has not been at his best in the 2025/26 campaign.

Haaland is a safe bet to finish top of the scoring charts, but who could push him closest?

Premier League Golden Boot 2025/26 race

Erling Haaland still has a clear advantage in the Golden Boot race, with Brentford forward Igor Thiago now five back from him.

Haaland's new Man City teammate Antoine Semenyo is third in the standings and could well close the gap after a fast start at the Etihad.

The only other players to hit double figures this season are four summer signings – with Chelsea's Joao Pedro, Liverpool's Hugo Ekitike, and Leeds United's Dominic Calvert-Lewin, and Arsenal's Vitkor Gyokeres proving their worth.
