There is no shortage of competition in the goalscoring charts, with candidates from Liverpool, Manchester United and more
The race for the Premier League Golden Boot is typically competitive, with some of the best attackers in world football playing in the division.
A haul of over 20 goals is usually required to come out on top and there are plenty of candidates in the mix this season.
Harry Kane, Sergio Aguero and Mohamed Salah, who have all won the accolade before, should be there or thereabouts, but there is always room for a surprise package.
Goal is compiling the individual goal tallies for the highest-scoring Premier League players this season and you can check it out below.
