Three players are all tied on 19 goals as the race for the Premier League Golden Boot took tightened once again at the weekend.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang joined Mohamed Salah and Sergio Aguero on the figure after netting a consolation goal in Arsenal’s 3-2 loss to Crystal Palace on Sunday, with bet365 cutting him from 11/2 (6.50) to 7/2 (4.50) as a result.
That strike marked the first time the Gabon forward has scored in consecutive league games since December and he will surely hope to claim the coveted award in his first full season in England.
GettyHowever, it remains to be seen how many more domestic matches he plays ahead of the Gunners’ Europa League semi-final showdown with Valencia in May.
Salah still remains the slight bookies’ favourite at 7/4 (2.75) and with the Egyptian being such a vital cog in the Liverpool machine, is set to play all three of his side’s remaining Premier League matches.
Jurgen Klopp will almost certainly start him in both of the Reds’ Champions League semi-final games against Barcelona, too, and so there is perhaps potential for burnout over the next six weeks or so.
Sergio Aguero, then, looks to be the shrewdest bet at 9/5 (2.80) with bet365. Manchester City were unceremoniously knocked out of Europe last week and so all focus will have shifted to the league.
The Argentine has scored in just one of his last five Premier League games but with no Champions League distraction, could well find form over the next four games as City look to retain the title.
Sadio Mane has drifted slightly out to 7/1 (from 6/1) after drawing a blank in Liverpool’s hard-fought 2-0 win at Cardiff City on Sunday, leaving him on 18 strikes.
Just one behind him is Raheem Sterling, who can be backed at 16/1 (17.0), whilst 16-goal Eden Hazard is available at 33/1 (34.0).
Odds correct at the time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.
Sergio Aguero to be top scorer at 9/5 (2.80) for a 1pt stake with bet365
