Haaland's struck 14 times but his injury has allowed Mohamed Salah to draw level on the leaderboard. The Egyptian, however, is off to the Africa Cup of Nations and Haaland's return is drawing near so the Norwegian could pull away again as he aims for a second-straight Golden Boot.

However, Heung-min Son and Dominic Solanke are on 12 goals, while Jarrod Bowen has 11. Hee-chan Hwang is up to 10, while Ollie Watkins has nine. So, Haaland has a lot more competition this season.

Haaland won the 2022-23 Golden Boot with Manchester City when he bagged 36 goals to set a new Premier League single season record, and he'll be aiming to do it again this season.

Here are the top goal scorers as we hit the midway point of the 2023-24 Premier League season.
