It’s not long to go till the Premier League enters what Sir Alex Ferguson once termed ‘squeaky-bum time.’<\/strong><\/p>\n

As it stands, Manchester City — seeking back-to-back title wins — are running away with English football’s top prize.<\/p>\n

For all the talk surrounding one particular void in their squad since losing the club’s record goalscorer, Sergio Aguero, City are doing so without a centre-forward of excellence.<\/p>\n

Harry Kane was linked with a move last summer but, as we now know, England’s leading marksman would remain at Tottenham.<\/p>\n

As we head into the final stretch, the chances Kane will defend his ‘Golden Boot’ look remote. In fact, in this jumbled-up campaign where so many games have been postponed, only two players have amassed 10 or more goals.<\/p>\n
