So while there is great value in some fantastic odds in trying to pick out the golden boot of the Premier League season, and the likelihood is that the player who grabs it is going to be from one of the title contending clubs, it is also worth shopping around in extra markets to try and pick up some more value.

Since the 2000/01 season, the Premier League’s Top Goalscorer has came from either Chelsea, Arsenal or Manchester United.

That is in contrast to Manchester United who are trading at a price of 3/1 in the market, who pretty much only have Wayne Rooney to really contribute a net-busting season that will come close to winning the Premier League golden boot. That leaves Arsenal and Chelsea at a joint price of 9/2 with online bookmaker Paddy Power in the Premier League Club of Top Goalscorer betting odds. Chelsea will be relying on Fernando Torres, while Arsenal will, quite frankly, be hoping that Robin van Persie stays around. If the Dutchman goes to either of the two Manchester clubs, then their odds in this market will be trimmed.
