Haaland & Isak lead the golden boot race - who is favourite to win?
Premier League Golden Boot odds still favour Erling Haaland after five matches. The Manchester City striker leads the scoring chart on five goals and is 8/15 (best) to 1/3 (worst) on Oddschecker’s top goalscorer market. Alexander Isak is second in both the top scorer table (four goals) and the betting (7/1 best), with Joao Pedro the clearest of the chasing pack at 9/1 best.
Haaland reclaimed the award in 2025/26 with 27 goals, his third Golden Boot in four Premier League seasons after 36 in 2022/23 and 27 in 2023/24. Mohamed Salah took 2024/25 with 29. The early 2026/27 board is pricing another Haaland finish unless Isak’s start at Liverpool or Chelsea’s Joao Pedro stretches the race.

| Viktor Gyokeres | 70/1 | 40/1 |
Haaland is odds on across the board. Isak’s best price of 7/1 sits against a 9/2 worst. Joao Pedro is 9/1 best and 5/1 worst. Watkins, Palmer and Havertz cluster around 28/1 best.
Thiago (30/1 best), last season’s 22 goal runner up at Brentford, remains in the longer list. Calvert-Lewin is 40/1 best. Cherki, Rogers, Fernandes, Saka, Mbeumo, Sesko and Gyokeres sit from 66/1 to 70/1 on best price.
Golden Boot Race After Five Matches
Current Premier League scoring leaders: Haaland 5; Isak 4; then a group on 3 including Bruno Fernandes, Joao Pedro, Morgan Rogers, Marcus Tavernier, Kevin Schade, Bukayo Saka, Pascal Gross, Rayan Cherki and Brian Brobbey.
Haaland’s five from City’s opening run keeps him clear of the field. City have taken maximum points from their league fixtures through this stage of the season. Five goals already matches a pace that, projected crudely over 38 games, sits in historic Golden Boot territory, though early projections move with blanks and braces.
Isak’s four goals make him the only forward within one of Haaland on the top scorer list and the only other single figure price on the shortlist. Liverpool’s attack is carrying the early Golden Boot challenge without Mohamed Salah, who won the award in 2024/25. Four from five matches is why Isak is 7/1 best rather than buried in the 20s.
Joao Pedro’s three for Chelsea, level with several others on the chart, is enough for third favourite. Palmer is on two league goals and still 28/1 best. Fernandes is on three for United and 66/1 best, a midfielder’s ceiling on this market even when he leads a club chart early.
Who Can Stay With Haaland
Haaland’s three Golden Boots in four seasons set the standard. The 2025/26 winning total of 27 is the target number. Isak needs a sustained run in the 20s at Liverpool to turn drop his 7/1 price closer to Haaland's.
Further down, Thiago’s 22 goals last season explain a 30/1 best price despite a quieter start in the league (1 goal). Havertz and Gyokeres share Arsenal’s goal threat on longer prices. Calvert-Lewin’s 40/1 best tracks a Leeds start with two early league goals. Cherki’s three for City put a teammate on the board at 66/1 best without threatening Haaland’s share of City’s finishing.
