Arsenal star ahead of Chelsea forward and other rivals as Premier League’s most lethal marksman

3- Papiss Cisse (Newcastle 0.82 goals per 90 mins)

The 29-year-old’s season has been overshadowed by the spitting incident involving Jonny Evans during the defeat against Manchester United last month, but nevertheless, he’s been Newcastle’s leading scorer this year.

With eleven goals, he has over double of his nearest teammate, Ayoze Perez, and you could imagine that John Carver will be desperate to get the striker back into the fold.

2- Diego Costa (Chelsea 0.84 goals per 90 mins)

The former Atletico Madrid striker made a blistering start to his Premier League career, bagging seven goals in his first four games. With nineteen strikes, he joins Harry Kane at the top of the goalscoring charts. Seven games in all competitions without a goal earlier in the year had Chelsea fans worried, however, he put those fears to bed with two in two against Southampton and Hull.

More worryingly, he limped off during the victory over Stoke with an apparent recurrence of an old hamstring injury.
