Carlos Tevez may be doing well at Manchester City, but none of the other big name strikers in the Premier League have shown themselves to be consistently at the top of their game so far this season, despite Dimitar Berbatov starting this season in what many deemed to be the form of his life.
As a result of this, the Premier League Golden Boot market with most bookies is wide open. However, with strikers as well as clubs likely to hit form sooner rather than later, there must surely be someone out there ready and willing to grab hold of their chance to win the Golden Boot title.
It may well be that the identity of that man is more familiar than you may at first think. With Wayne Rooney now seemingly ready to come back and hit form for a Manchester United side he needs to prove himself to after flirting with other teams, including rivals City, just a few weeks ago, perhaps the one way that he can show his renewed loyalty is by firing his team to a 19th Premier League title. He certainly looks a good value football bet right now.
This, of course, is nothing more than a prediction, and the quality and previous goalscoring records of both Fernando Torres and Didier Drogba mean that they cannot be discounted from coming back and putting together a string of fine performances that end with them hauling themselves to the top of the Golden Boot table in the space of just a couple of weeks. However, the Manchester United betting suggests Rooney could mount a run.
Whatever the result of the Golden Boot competition, its impact on the destination of the Premier League title cannot be underestimated as the leading striker is often part of the country’s top team.
