The Premier League Golden Boot race is heating up as we head into the final two games of the season with stars from Liverpool, Newcastle United and Manchester City battling it out for the honor.
The Golden Boot is awarded to the top scorer each Premier League season with a storied history. Players like Thierry Henry, Alan Shearer, Harry Kane, Mohamed Salah and Erling Haaland have won multiple honors and are some of the most prolific forwards in the league's history.
Arsenal's Henry has won the award four times, most by any player, but Liverpool's talismanic Salah has the chance to match him this season.
Here's a look at the Premier League Golden Boot race heading into the final two games of the season.
