The Premier League 2024-25 season is heating up with surprising results and unexpected performances.
While Liverpool maintain their lead at the points table, a very unlikely contender for the title has emerged- Nottingham Forest.
While teams are building momentum for the league title, players are also in a heated race for the golden boot of the season.
Last season saw Erling Haaland yet again dominate the top scorers table, despite a mid-season injury. Cole Palmer, meanwhile, stunned the world as he surged to a second-place finish after a four-goal haul against Everton late in the season.
This time round, Erling Haaland is narrowly behind Liverpool star Mohamed Salah. The Norwegian is followed by New Castle’s Alexander Isak.
While the golden boot winner will be declared in the summers, let us have a look at who are the contenders.
