Published: 14:05, 25 January 2022

With Watkins moving to Aston Villa last summer, further propelling his status as a natural goal-getter which earned him three England caps earlier this year, and Toney helping Brentford win the play-offs, there is scope for a new Golden Boot winner to emerge from the second tier.

Or, at least, an old face returning to the division. Aleksandar Mitrovic is once again blowing away England’s second tier with 27 goals in 25 games so far, seven more than any other player. His closest challenger is Ben Brereton Diaz who has become a completely different player since embracing his Chilean roots, scoring 20 goals to fire Blackburn into the play-off places.

Dominic Solanke completes the top three with 18 goals, five more than his closest rival, truly separating the best from the rest.
