Premier League Golden Boot race latest as Danny Ings closes on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

The race for the Premier League Golden Boot is hotting up.

Danny Ings installed himself as a genuine contender this evening after netting in Southampton's draw with Brighton, while the league's top scorer Jamie Vardy failed to find the net in Leicester City's win over Sheffield United.

We are now looking at a four-horse race to claim the coveted individual prize with just two matches to go.

Here, we take a look at how the top scorer chart looks after matchweek 35.

The top four

Vardy leads the way with 23 goals so far this season.

The Leicester striker holds a three-goal lead over Arsenal frontman Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Then comes Liverpool star Mo Salah who has netted 19, the same total as Ings.

The run-in

Just who each of the hopefuls' still have to play will no doubt have a big bearing on their hopes of landing the Golden Boot.

We start with the favourite - Vardy. Leicester have two difficult games to play as they look to secure a spot in the Champions League, still to play Tottenham and Man United.

Aubamyeang and Arsenal, meanwhile, take on strugglers Aston Villa and Watford.

Liverpool and Salah are yet to face Chelsea and Newcastle United, and Danny Ings and Southampton will finish their season against Bournemouth and Sheffield United.

The odds

Jamie Vardy - 2/9

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - 10/1

Mo Salah - 10/1

Danny Ings - 10/1
