You can be certain that Harry Kane and Romelu Lukaku will be battling to be among the Premier League's top goalscorers this season.
Despite failing to get off the mark in August, Kane has four goals in his last three games for Tottenham.
Lukaku has made an immediate impact at Manchester United following his big money move from Everton and is the joint-leading scorer in the top flight alongside Sergio Aguero.
The Belgian forward got on the scoresheet once again during United's 4-0 emphatic win over his former club Everton on Sunday and has now made it seven goals from his last seven matches.
The debate continues over the best striker in the Premier League but former Liverpool boss Graeme Souness has no doubts who he would like to have in his starting line-up.
Souness, speaking in The Sunday Times, said: "If you pushed me to choose between Harry Kane and Romelu Lukaku, I'd take the Belgium international. I can't separate them on skill, so my preference is based on style.
"Kane is a fabulous player, with a great football brain and technique. He's maybe more accomplished overall, but I reckon he sees himself as a part No 9 and part No 10, whereas Lukaku is an outright No 9, a centre-forward.
They are rare today, the hardest thing to find in football.
"Nobody wants to be that man through the middle any more, running forward and taking on centre-halves physically, getting in a race with them and trying to outjump them. Lukaku seems to relish all that and so he should with the power and pace that God has given him.
"He reminds me of Didier Drogba, with his speed and strength. He doesn't have the hold-up play of Drogba yet and is not as cute, but that may come.
He's only 24. He has already answered the biggest question after his move from Everton to Manchester United. He's shown that he's not overawed playing in front of 75,000 people at Old Trafford and the burden of that £90m transfer fee has had no effect on him."
