Golden Boot odds: Salah and Kane in two-horse race

Salah’s record against Palace, though, is impressive having scored six goals in as many appearances, including a double as a second-half substitute in this season’s 7-0 rout at Selhurst Park.

Three goals in his last four games tells us Salah is in no mood to let Kane steal a march on his bid to win the Golden Boot.

Harry Kane

Kane also has 22 goals but Tottenham’s final two games look much tougher than Liverpool’s with Aston Villa and Leicester the opposition in the final week of the season.

The Foxes, of course, are still in the running for a Champions League place and will be determined not to let it slip through their fingers as they did last season when they lost to Manchester United on the final day.

Kane is 5/4 in the Golden Boot odds as he looks to win the award for a third time and his record against Wednesday’s opponents means he is still in with a chance.

The England skipper has scored six goals in his last four appearances against Villa, including a late double in last season’s fixture.

Kane failed to score in a 2-0 defeat at home to Leicester in December but he struck three times against them last season and in the 2017-18 campaign but those performances pale into insignificance compared with exactly four years ago when he scored four in a 6-1 win at the King Power Stadium.

The Spurs striker ended a three-game scoreless run with the opener in a 2-0 victory against Wolves having hit the post earlier, so the Golden Boot race is far from over.

Bruno Fernandes

The Portugal star has 18 goals so he will need to score at least one hat-trick in his last two games if he is to overhaul Salah and Kane.

Fernandes is 40/1 in the Golden Boot odds and has yet to score a treble, although he has bagged a handful of doubles.

Should he score twice against both Fulham and Wolves it is unlikely either Salah and Kane will fire blanks this week but having failed to score against either team in two seasons, the advantage remains with the men from Liverpool and Spurs.
