While the UK is gripped by a cold snap, the Premier League Golden Boot race is heating up nicely as we enter February.
Harry Kane, who topped the scoring charts in successive campaigns between 2015-17, has his sights set on another Golden Boot as he sits top of the standings as 2019 begins.
But Kane has been ruled out until early March with ankle ligament damage, and Mohamed Salah is currently clear at the top of the standings with two goals in Liverpool's thrilling 4-3 win over Brighton at Anfield.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang trails Salah by one goal, while Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford have both moved on to eight goals apiece with their fine form for Manchester United.
