Choosing the right bet for the Premier League top goalscorer is not easy, this selection is here to help punters.

The Barclays Premier League kicks off this Saturday and football punters are already in a betting frenzy at online sportsbooks in the United Kingdom. Let’s take a closer look at which strikers are currently favored to top the ranks for the league and their respective teams.

There will be a lot of new faces on the British Isles this season, faces we have familiarized ourselves during the World Cup. However, while some new players have been signed by the majority of teams, some of fans’ old favorites have come back to the League and some players have stayed put.

Best odds on Premier League top goalscorer

• The new Premier League season kicks off on Saturday

• Online sportsbooks in the United Kingdom are full of betting odds

• Choosing the right bet for the top goalscorer market is not an easy task

Luis Suarez moved from Liverpool to Barcelona, making the Reds lose not only their top striker, but the winner of last season’s Golden Boot. Daniel Sturridge finished as runner-up to Suarez last season, and is now the second favorite to take the crown this year with 6.50 odds for those who bet on sports in the UK.

The top goalscorer predictions are now led by Robin Van Persie, who is expected to benefit from the arrival of former Netherlands manager Louis van Gaal to Manchester United. Van Persie is given 5.50 odds by Bet365 to win the Golden Boot, which will be his third in four years.

His Manchester rival from City, Sergio Aguero, got the same 6.50 odds to become the top marksman, mainly due to his impressive strike rate of 52 in 87 Premier League matches. However, Aguero has an unfortunate injury record, which only allowed him to play 23 times in the league.

Diego Costa scored 27 times in La Liga last season, and now joins the Blues at Stamford Bridge and immediately gets 8.00 odds to win the Golden Boot. The last Chelsea player to win the awards was Didier Drogba, who’s also back in Jose Mourinho’s squad and priced at 51.00 to repeat his achievement.

Another Manchester United striker, Wayne Rooney, has revealed a great pre-season form, following an underwhelming World Cup campaign with the Three Lions. Rooney got a line of 12.00 to score more than anyone else during the upcoming season, which is a very smart Premier League bet to make at this point.

Manchester City’s Edin Dzeko is an extremely reliable player when it comes to scoring goals, but Manuel Pellegrini is renowned for his squad rotation techniques, which may explain why Dzeko only got 15.00 odds to outscore everyone. His teammate Yaya Toure is a much better value bet at 21.00 odds, considering he scored 20 league goals last season.

Arsene Wenger and Arsenal fans are psyched over Alexis Sanchez’ arrival from Barcelona, but the Chilean player obviously needs adaptation among the Gunners and has got a line of 15.00 under British gambling laws to become the league’s to scorer in his first season here.

What’s happening at Stamford Bridge?

Jose Mourinho allowed Didier Drogba to return, but he’s an unlikely candidate to become the team’s top scorer with 11.00 odds from Bet365. The same can be said for Fernando Torres who failed to impress last season and at the World Cup. The Spaniard got a line of 13.00 to beat everybody else at Stamford Bridge.

Coming over from Atletico Madrid during the summer window, Diego Costa, seems like the man to become the topscorer for the Blues with 1.90, but that puts a lot of responsibility on his shoulders in the very first season in England.

Romelu Lukaku has moved back to Everton, and Samuel Eto’o has become a free agent this summer and is certain to leave Stamford Bridge with the most likely destination being Ajax.

Eden Hazard isn’t moving anywhere and will certainly help Costa with the firepower and has 4.00 to become Chelsea’s to striker himself. It will be his third season for the Blues and last time around he got 14 goals in the league, and assisting in many more.

Andre Schurrle played a very important role in Germany’s success at the World Cup and gets 11.00 odds to become the top goalscorer for Chelsea during the upcoming season. Chelsea have also signed former Gunner, Cesc Fabregas, from Barcelona. The odds on him topping the Blues scoring charts are equal to 12.00 and this is a very smart bet to make at this point.

Fabregas had a rather disappointing last season at Camp Nou, not to mention Spain’s performance at the World Cup, but he still managed to find the back of the net 13 times. Mourinho’s style is regarded as much more suitable for the Spaniard, making his odds on becoming the top striker for the Blues rather long.

Both land-based and online sportsbooks in the United Kingdom failed to distinguish one Chelsea player from the rest. There are lots of questions whether Diego Costa can live up to expectations during his first season at Stamford Bridge, opening up the door for other players to outscore him.
