The Premier League Golden Boot race is heating up nicely as we head towards the business end of the season.
Harry Kane, who topped the scoring charts in successive campaigns between 2015-17, has his sights set on another Golden Boot, though a stint out in February has left him playing catch-up.
However, the Spurs star returned earlier than expected to hit his 15th goal of the season in a 2-1 defeat at Burnley last month, and struck a vital penalty to secure a 1-1 north London derby draw against Arsenal.
Sergio Aguero leads the charts following his penalty against West Ham with Mohamed Salah a goal back, while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang trails the leader by three goals after missing a penalty versus Tottenham at Wembley.
Sadio Mane played himself into the battle for the boot with a double against Watford in midweek, while Raheem Sterling's brace against Chelsea earlier this month took him level with Stamford Bridge talisman Eden Hazard.
Romelu Lukaku has scored four goals in his last two Manchester United games to reach 12 for the season, with team-mate Paul Pogba one behind on 11.
