We are now entering the home straight of the 2023/24 Premier League season and it is still all to play for at the top of the table with Arsenal and Liverpool both on 71 points while Manchester City sits just below on 70.
Of course, the teams’ successes could not be done without exceptionally defensive efforts but it is often the strikers who enjoy the glory of a club’s success. Manchester City’s Erling Haaland is once again leading the golden boot race with Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins in second and Liverpool’s Mo Salah; Bournemouth’s Dominic Solanke and Chelsea’s Cole Palmer all in third.
