FIFA President Gianni Infantino is facing increased scrutiny as he seeks another term in office.
Several football associations have withdrawn their support for his re-election bid. The debate has focused on FIFA governance and decision-making. Infantino has also proposed an independent review of FIFA’s governance framework.
Away from the FIFA debate, the focus here is on the 2026/27 Premier League betting tips. We look at the Golden Boot market and several other ante-post options.

Bookies not looking past Haaland for Golden Boot
Erling Haaland starts the season among the leading contenders for the Premier League Golden Boot.
The Manchester City striker has won the award in three of the last four seasons. As a result, bookmakers have priced him as short as 4/6.
Haaland scored 27 league goals last season. Manchester City did not enjoy their strongest campaign, yet the Norwegian still produced impressive numbers.
If he stays fit, Haaland could challenge several Premier League scoring records.
His record already stands out. He reached 100 Premier League goals in just 111 appearances.
That was 13 matches faster than Alan Shearer. Haaland also scored 36 goals in his first Premier League season.
The numbers underline his scoring ability. At the time of writing, the Premier League lists his scoring rate at 0.91 goals per 90 minutes.
However, the 4/6 price leaves little room for error. An injury or a drop in form could quickly change the Golden Boot market.
9/1 Isak looks value
If you’re looking past Haaland, Alexander Isak is the obvious next stop.
He’s not a No.9 in the classic sense – powerful with forearms the size of hams. His gift is more elusive: the glide into space, the delayed movement, the finish taken with the calmness of a man who has already seen the outcome.
Before his interrupted first season at Liverpool, Isak had scored 54 Premier League goals in 86 appearances, a return of 0.63 per game, and his Newcastle stint firmly established him as one of the division’s most accomplished finishers.
Liverpool should be better this season, and if he gets a run of games we should get a real run for our money at 9/1.
Spurs even money top six a steering job?
Best even money shot of the season? That would be Tottenham to finish in the top six (no sniggering please).
I think it’s a steering job. Trust me, you won’t get that type of return sticking cash into an ISA for nine months.
Roberto De Zerbi has been busy in the transfer market, bringing in the likes of Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, Jan Paul van Hecke, Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson from Liverpool.
Tonali and Fernandes are statement signings and give Spurs a much more technically capable midfield that should suit De Zerbi’s possession-based approach.
With the new blood – and star names returning from long-term injuries – it will be no shock at all to see Tottenham challenging the Champions League qualifying places.
Leeds 9/4 for top 10 finish
No fewer than nine Premier League clubs start the new campaign with new managers in charge.
Leeds United enter this season with something more valuable than a new boss promising revolution: continuity.
Daniel Farke remains at the helm, having already taken the club back to the Premier League and then kept it there, while the upheaval that has unsettled much of the division has passed them by.
The club has also added Harry Wilson, a prodigious baller who was excellent for Fulham last season.
Farke will supply the pragmatism from the touchline, and Leeds can build on their 14th-place finish last season. I’m convinced Newcastle United are going to struggle this year – and many other clubs are in transition, so 9/4 about Leeds finishing in the top 10 looks a punt.
Suggested bet #1: Alexander Isak to win the Premier League Golden Boot at 9/1 (betway / Bet Victor / Hills)
Suggested bet #2: Tottenham to finish in the top six at evens (Coral / Ladbrokes / Paddy Power / skybet)
Suggested Bet #3: Leeds United to finish in the top 10 at 9/4 (General)
