Harry Kane is 12/1 (13.0) to reclaim the Premier League Golden Boot ahead of his potential return to action on Saturday.
The Tottenham striker injured his ankle in Spurs’ 1-0 loss to Manchester United and it was feared he would be out until at least March, but his return to training has sparked hope he will be fit to face Burnley.
Kane has 14 goals to his name, which puts him only three off the top of the Golden Boot charts, and 888Sport’s industry-best price of 12/1 (13.0) could well garner interest as he looks to close the season out strong.

Finishing on a high note is not something that is new to Kane. In 2015-16 he scored eight in his last nine matches, whilst a year later he struck 15 in his last 10 – with eight coming in the final three games.
Last season it was six in the last seven matches but he was just pipped to the crown by Mohamed Salah, who scored a record 32 times and is 6/4 (2.50) to retain the crown.
The Egyptian has perhaps not quite reached the dizzying heights of last season but has been a key feature of Liverpool’s title challenge, scoring 17 of the Reds’ 59 goals so far.
However, all eyes have been on Sergio Aguero in recent weeks. The 5/4 (2.25) favourite has netted seven times in his last three matches, including hat-tricks against Arsenal and Chelsea.
That has pushed the Argentine up to 17 goals as well, although rotation could prove to be an issue as Manchester City are still in both the FA Cup and the Champions League – with the latter likely a priority.
Arsenal forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could suffer from rotation too with the Gunners potentially aiming for Europa League glory if their top four hopes fade. The Gabon international has struck 15 times in his debut full season and can be backed at 7/1 (8.0).
