If you want to narrow down the options for who will win this season's golden book, you can do worse than decide which teams will qualify for the Champions League come the end of the season. Since the turn of the century, every winner has come for a side occupying one of the top four places in the division.

That gives us a shortlist of Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham - unless of course someone "does a Leicester".

Harry Kane has been the most consistent marksman in the division for sometime now, and should continue to get great service from the likes of Dele Ali, Christian Eriksson, and the pair of wing backs who proved so dangerous last season.

He's scored 78 times in 113 League appearances for Spurs now, and the last three seasons have yielded 35, 28 and 31 goals in all competitions and he's shown no sign of slowing down. With penalty duties as well, he should get will into the 20s and will be a definite threat at 10/3 with Bet Victor

For an each way show, Gabriel Jesus should get some decent game time in an attack minded Man City side, and the acquisition of Kyle Walker should help in that department. Jesus is a clear Pep man, and he could find himself getting more action than Sergio Aguero and could well establish himself as number 1. Seven goals in 10 games showed his clear potential last campaign and he has a proven record at Palmeiras and for Brazil despite his tender years. 9/1 gives decent each way opportunity.

We don't fancy Romelu Lukaku for the simple reason he is now a Mourinho striker. He's got the talent of course, but Mourinho front men are rarely asked to produce 30 goals a season. It's a bigger picture than that, and for that reason he is easily passed over at 4/1.

Instead add Alexandre Lacazette as an each way option at 12/1. The Frenchman has scored 22, 31, 23 and 37 for Lyon in his last four seasons, so justifiably commanded a big fee. Goals are not easy to come by in France historically, so he's bucked a trend there, and has finished 2nd, 2nd and 1st in the Ligue 1 Top Scorer table in the last three seasons.

Harry Kane to win Golden Boot at 10/3

Gabriel Jesus e/w to win Golden Boot at 9/1

Alexandre Lacazette e/w to win Golden Boot at 12/1
