Death, taxes and Manchester City striker Erling Haaland scoring in the Premier League.
Although the Norwegian goal machine has blanked in City’s last two defeats, he still has a tidy lead in the Golden Boot race.
Haaland has won the gong in three of his four seasons at the Etihad and is hunting a record-equalling fourth this term. The seismic decision on the Man City charges could make that difficult but doesn’t seem to have put him off massively just yet.
Liverpool striker Alexander Isak, Chelsea’s Joao Pedro and Morgan Rogers, Aston Villa’s Nicolas Jackson and Evanilson of Bournemouth make up the rest of the early pacesetters.

Premier League Golden Boot 2026/27 race
Man City striker Erling Haaland is the favourite to top the Premier League goalscoring charts again this season.
Chelsea forward Joao Pedro, who is raring to go after missing Brazil’s World Cup squad, is expected to challenge as the spearhead of Xabi Alonso’s attack.
Having missed much of last season due to injury, Kai Havertz looks to be Arsenal’s first choice number nine and could be set for his best goalscoring season in North London.
Liverpool’s Alexander Isak will be expected to up his tally this term, while the likes of Brentford striker Igor Thiago, Leeds United target man Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Aston Villa’s Nicolas Jackson are also expected to impress.
