Sports Betting Firm Asks: Rooney For The Golden Boot?

Bookmakers makes Wayney Rooney favourite to be top goalscorer.

Manchester United and England man Wayne Rooney is the bookmakers' favourite to finish as top goalscorer in the Premier League this season.

Rooney currently leads the way in the top goalscorer chart, having hit the back of the net 21 times for the Red Devils in the Premier League this season.

The striker scored a header for United in the club's 5-0 demolition of bottom of the table Portsmouth on Saturday (February 6th) and will be hoping to add to his tally at Villa Park tonight.

888 sport makes Rooney available at odds of 4/11 to finish the season with the highest tally of Premier League strikes, while Sky Bet is offering it at 2/7.

Chelsea hitman Didier Drogba - currently on 17 goals - is offered at 10/3 with 888 sport and 7/2 with Sky Bet.

United are 10/11 with 888 sport to secure victory against Aston Villa tonight, Martin O'Neills men are 3/1 and the draw is 12/5.
