Favorites and Odds for 2026-27 Premier League Golden Boot

Erling Haaland of Manchester City remains the clear favorite to claim his fourth Golden Boot. Haaland dominated three of the last four seasons, interrupted only by Mohamed Salah's record-setting 2024/25 campaign. With Salah's departure from Liverpool and no other standout threats early in the season, Haaland is expected to lead the scoring charts again regardless of Manchester City's league outcome.
