Premier League Top Scorer Predictions, Odds, Picks 2025

• The Premier League 2024/25 season began on August 16 and ends on May 25

• The campaign will feature 38 rounds of fixtures spread over more than nine months

• Erling Haaland of Manchester City was the Premier League 2024/25 top scorer 

The Premier League 2024/25 season got under way on August 16 and will conclude on May 19.

Last time out, Erling Haaland won a second Golden Boot on the bounce after the Manchester City striker scored more goals than any other player. But the Norway international has not had everything his own way this term.

Indeed, Mohamed Salah leads the way in the Premier League goal charts and he also sits right at the top of the betting market. The Liverpool forward notched a couple of penalties against Southampton in his last league outing, moving him up to 27 goals for the season. Salah is the red-hot favorite for the Golden Boot. 

Haaland is best placed to pounce if Salah gets injured or tails off, and he scored his 21st of the campaign before the international break. Alexander Isak and Chris Wood are among the dark horses, with both players enjoying fine seasons.

Favorites to Win the Premier League Top Scorer Title

Mohamed Salah

Mohamed Salah is showing his enduring importance to Liverpool this season. The Egypt international is out of contract at the end of the campaign and the club’s supporters are desperate for him to stay, not least because of his exploits this term. If Liverpool allow Salah to leave the club on a free, it will be a major failing on their part. 

Salah scored last time out as Liverpool beat Manchester City 2-0. He has now made the net ripple 25 times in 2024/25, making him the strong favorite to finish as top scorer. Salah is on course for one of the best individual seasons in Premier League history.

Erling Haaland

Erling Haaland came flying out of the traps at the start of the season, scoring nine times in his first four appearances in the Premier League. He then suffered a dip in form amid Manchester City’s wider struggles under Pep Guardiola, and now Haaland is out injured.

Despite all that, the Norwegian is still joint-second in the scoring charts with 19 strikes, which puts him six off top spot. But the sportsbooks believe his chances of winning another Golden Boot are fading.

Alexander Isak

Alexander Isak had a relatively slow start to the season, but over the last few months he has reminded Premier League fans that he is one of the best strikers in European soccer. Isak’s brace at the weekend means he has now notched 19 goals in 2024/25.

Isak is a quality player who brings more to the table than just goals. He excels at linking the play and can create chances too, but the Sweden international combines all that with being a prolific scorer. However, a six-goal gap to Mohamed Salah leaves Isak with his work cut out.

Chris Wood

No one saw this coming. Chris Wood was always viewed as a useful center-forward for bottom-half teams, but he did not seem like a legitimate Golden Boot contender. Yet Wood has been phenomenal for Nottingham Forest this term.

Forest are the Premier League’s surprise package and Wood has been one of their stars. He did not score against Newcastle United last time out, so he is still on 18 goals for 2024/25 - probably not sufficient to overtake Mohamed Salah.

Cole Palmer

Cole Palmer was the breakout star of the 2023/24 Premier League campaign, establishing himself as one of the best players in the division despite Chelsea’s overall struggles. Palmer has suffered a dip in form of late, though, with Enzo Maresca’s side struggling to get results.

The attacking midfielder, who came through Manchester City’s academy before moving to west London in 2023, has notched 14 goals up to now. That is not enough to be in contention for the Golden Boot.

Erling Haaland was the top scorer in the 2023/24 season. The Manchester City striker scored 27 goals in 31 appearances, helping Pep Guardiola’s team win their fourth consecutive Premier League title.

Top of the overall charts is Jimmy Greaves, who found the back of the net 357 times for Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, and West Ham United.
