Race for the Premier League 2024/25 Golden Boot –
Manchester City’s Norwegian goalscoring machine Erling Haaland has dominated the charts from the start of the season, with the striker already entering double figures this season with 10 goals from 5 games. With no goal against Arsenal last time, Haaland will be hungrier for a goal against the Magpies.
Luis Diaz is the closest to the 24-year-old, with 5 goals in as many games so far.

Man City looking to increase lead at the top –
With Manchester City travelling to Newcastle United this weekend, it will be a close game considering how Eddie Howe’s men played last season. A win for City would take them to 16 points, while Newcastle could try to make a top 4 entrance if they manage to upset the champions.
Chelsea will take on Brighton at Stamford Bridge, as they too look to enter the top 4 with a win on the day.
Manchester United also have a tough fixture against Tottenham Hotspurs on Sunday with both teams level on 7 points after 5 games. United would be looking forward to jump up in the table with a home win on the night.
The bottom half of the table see Southampton, Wolves and Everton struggling at the bottom with just 1 point out of the possible 15 so far.
