After his hat-trick at Chelsea, can Man Citys Sergio Aguero clinch the Premier League Golden Boot? While Leicester and Tottenham focus on English footballs top prize, up to five players also have their sights set on another award. Cheap White Sox Jerseys .Agueros treble at Stamford Bridge lifted him to within one goal of leading marksman Harry Kane on Saturday, before Leicesters Jamie Vardy joined the Tottenham man on top of the pile with his 22nd goal of the season against West Ham. Evertons Romelu Lukaku and even Vardys team-mate Riyad Mahrez also have eyes on the summit. So who will join the likes of Alan Shearer, Thierry Henry and Cristiano Ronaldo in lifting the top-goalscorer gong? Here, we take an in-depth look at the contest... Previous Golden Boot winners Season Player Team Goals 2014/15 Sergio Aguero Man City 26 2013/14 Luis Suarez Liverpool 31 2012/13 Robin van Persie Man Utd 26 2011/12 Robin van Persie Arsenal 30 2010/11 Dimitar Berbatov Man Utd 20 Carlos Tevez Man City 20 State of playTottenhams Kane and Leicesters Vardy lead the way with 22 goals. Kane will have the opportunity to reclaim the outright lead on Monday Night Football when Spurs face Stoke, while Vardy will miss the Foxes next outing at Swansea due to suspension, following his red card against West Ham. Harry Kane shares the lead in the Golden Boot race with 22 goals Aguero is just one back, while Everton frontman Lukaku is on 18. The latters goals appear to have dried up following his breath-taking start to the campaign. Mahrez, meanwhile, completes the quintet on 16 goals having handed over the goalscoring mantle to Foxes team-mate Vardy in recent weeks. Golden Boot race Player Team Goals Jamie Vardy Leicester 22 Harry Kane Tottenham 22 Sergio Aguero Man City 21 Romelu Lukaku Everton 18 Riyad Mahrez Leicester 16 Remaining fixturesAhead of Monday Night Football, Kane and Aguero have five matches remaining to add to their respective tallies. However, Mahrez has just four games remaining and Vardy - due to his suspension at Swansea - has a maximum of three fixtures left.Kanes Tottenham travel away to Stoke, Chelsea and Newcastle in their final five games and welcome West Brom and Southampton to White Hart Lane. That run of games could benefit Kane, with 12 of his 22 goals coming on the road for Mauricio Pochettinos side. Will Vardy or Mahrez add the Golden Boot to a potential Premier League winners medal? Lukaku also has five games to play - his 18 goals have been evenly split at home and away. Thirteen of Agueros 21 goals have come at the Etihad Stadium, but he will not have the luxury of home comforts, with three of Manchester Citys final five games coming on the road.

The Man City striker scored five goals against Newcastle and, while he didnt net against his teams other remaining opponents earlier this season, that would take him to 26 goals. Vardy would finish second if he repeats the two goals he scored against Manchester United and Chelsea, while Kane and Lukaku would be tied fourth. Kane scored just once against Spurs five remaining opponents, while Lukaku notched an impressive five goals in Evertons fixtures against Liverpool, Bournemouth, Leicester, Sunderland and Norwich. Will Vardy or Mahrez add the Golden Boot to a potential Premier League winners medal? Mahrez, meanwhile, would remain fifth despite scoring six goals in the corresponding fixtures first time around. It appears the Algerian may have too big a gap to bridge.

Its great to see two English players in the mix and Id love to see one them do it. Is Aguero going to play every game with the Champions League semi-finals coming up for Man City? Is Manuel Pellegrini going to rest him? He took him off with five minutes to go against Chelsea and hes had muscle injuries in the past.As for Lukaku, I think he might just have a bit too much to do. Sky Sports pundit Graeme Souness verdictThere might be an element with Aguero that he needs to play to be at his best. Strikers have to be at their sharpest, at it all the time. Looking at his shape, I think hes someone who needs to be worked all the time and cant be rested too much.Id like to think as well hes someone who wouldnt want to miss a training session or a game, knocking on the managers door, saying he wants to be part of everything going on.

None of them was better than playing with LeBron James again.BELMONT, Mich. -- Inbee Park found a new putter -- and her old touch. The South Korean player took the second-round lead Friday in the Meijer LPGA Classic, birdieing her first three holes en route to her second straight 5-under 66. The third-ranked Park finished on the front nine, adding birdies on the par-5 fifth and eighth holes in her bogey-free round at Blythefield Country Club. She won six times last year and took the Manulife Financial in June in Canada for her 10th LPGA Tour title. "My putting feels like Im back to last year," Park said. "Hopefully, I can hole some more putts the next two days." After using a mallet putter since 2008, Park tried a friends blade putter Tuesday and started making putts. She hasnt stopped since with 27 putts in each round after having TaylorMade quickly make her an identical version. "I just never used that style of putter for a long, long time and I just wanted to have a change because I tried everything else and it didnt really work," she said. "This was pretty much my last option." She said the improved putting was especially obvious in the second round. "Yesterday I hit a lot of the shots closer, but today I made 15 to 20-footers, at least a couple of them," she said. Fourth-ranked Suzann Pettersen was a stroke back. The Norwegian player matched the course record with a 64. South Koreas Mirim Lee also shot 64 to reach 8 under, and South Koreas Amy Yang was fourth at 7 under after a 67. Second-ranked Lydia Ko, the 17-year-old New Zealand player comingg off a victory in the Marathon Classic in Sylvania, Ohio, was tied for fifth at 5 under after a 68. Evan Marshall White Sox Jersey. Germanys Sandra Gal, the first-round leader, also was in the group at 5 under, following her opening 65 with a 72. Top-ranked Stacy Lewis, a three-time winner this year, was even-par after a 72. Pettersen, who won the last of her 14 LPGA Tour titles last year, is coming off a three-week break from competition, but free from back pain that hampered her earlier this year and eager to play again. She said it was nice to go low. "Its not like the easiest course if you miss the fairways," she said. "I just tried to play to my strength, hit fairways, hit greens and I made a couple of putts." Lee said she hit the fairways and made long putts. She was clearly elated with her play. "Best round," she said. Ko seemed surprised to be in the hunt and admitted she isnt hitting the ball well. "I had to make an up-and-down a lot of times," she said. "I mean, I was kind of struggling with my long game but luckily my chipping and short game worked really well." Pettersen, who played in the same group, called Ko the chipping queen on the tour. "Its just phenomenal to see such a great touch around the greens," she said. Womens British Open winner Mo Martin withdrew Friday morning because of a thumb injury. It was unclear if she will play next week in the LPGA Championship.
