Mohamed Salah leads the goal scoring charts with 20 goals this season but has slowed down in recent weeks.

The Liverpool forward is followed by Son Heung-Min with 17 goals after his hat-trick against Aston Villa. Two more Liverpool forwards follow with Diogo Jota (15) and Sadio Mane (13).

One would imagine those are the only realy contenders remaining, and even Kane, eight goals back is a very big outside bet.

Son has struck form at the right time and is certainly in position to make up the three goals he is behind. That the South Korean is certainly capable of.

It is difficult to see either of Mane or Jota catching Salah in the same Liverpool team, especially with Klopp rotating his forwards.

Kane is capable of going on a scoring spree, that we all know. But one would imagine he needs a brace or two and perhaps a hat-trick in his final games. One wouldn't put it past him with the form Spurs are in.
