With the World Cup now in the rearview mirror, attention is beginning to shift towards the 2026-27 Premier League season.
While the battle for the title will dominate the headlines, the race for the Golden Boot promises to be just as captivating.
According to Sky Bet, one player has already emerged as the overwhelming favourite, with Manchester City’s Erling Haaland priced at just 8/11 to finish as the league’s top scorer.
It’s little surprise to see the Norwegian leading the market. Haaland has claimed the Premier League Golden Boot in three of his four seasons in England, including last campaign, and arrives full of confidence after a sensational World Cup.
He fired Norway to the quarter-finals, scoring seven goals in just five starts.

Liverpool’s Alexander Isak is next in the betting at 8/1. The Sweden international endured a frustrating first season at Anfield, scoring just three goals in 14 appearances after injuries disrupted much of his campaign.
However, with a full pre-season behind him and a confidence-boosting World Cup under his belt, he’ll be hoping to rediscover the prolific form that established him as one of the Premier League’s most feared forwards during his time at Newcastle.
Rounding out the top three in the market is last season’s Golden Boot runner-up Igor Thiago at 10/1, while Ollie Watkins and Joao Pedro complete the leading contenders at 14/1 and 16/1 respectively.
With Haaland once again the man to beat, the race for the Premier League Golden Boot is shaping up to be one of the most fascinating storylines of the new campaign, with a host of proven goalscorers hoping to challenge the Manchester City star for the crown.
