With just over a month left until the end of the Premier League season, its not only the race for the title that has pulses racing. Thomas Greiss Jersey . While Leicester and Tottenham focus on English footballs top prize, up to five players also have their sights set on another award - the Golden Boot.Just three goals separate Harry Kane, Jamie Vardy, Sergio Aguero and Romelu Lukaku at the top of the standings, while Riyad Mahrez is a further two goals back. 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 playIts Kane who leads the way with 22 goals, the latest of which earned Spurs a point at Anfield in early April.One behind him is Leicester striker Vardy, who moved the Foxes a step closer to the title with a double at Sunderland on Sunday. Last seasons Golden Boot winner, Aguero, is locked on 18 goals with Everton frontman Lukaku, with the Argentine netting in Citys last outing against West Brom.The same, however, cannot be said for Lukaku, whose 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.  Premier League Golden Boot - 2015/16 Player Team Goals Harry Kane Tottenham 22 Jamie Vardy Leicester 21 Sergio Aguero Man City 18 Romelu Lukaku Everton 18 Riyad Mahrez Leicester 16 Remaining fixturesCurrent leader Kane, and table-toppers Vardy and Mahrez have just five games remaining to add to their respective tallies - although their quests for the Premier League title will no doubt take precedence.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.Leicesters fixtures fall opposite to their main title rivals Spurs, with three of their remaining five games taking place at the King Power Stadium. This slight adjustment is unlikely affect Vardy, whose 21 goals are split 11 at home and 10 away. Will Vardy or Mahrez add the Golden Boot to a potential Premier League winners medal? Its a different story for Mahrez, though. Only four of his 16 league goals have come at home, and with tough trips to Manchester United and Chelsea accounting for the remaining away fixtures, his challenge could well be weakened.Lukakus 18 goals have been evenly split at home and away so the only advantage he may receive comes by the fact he has at least one games advantage on his rivals.Similarly, Aguero has an extra 90 minutes of game time in which to catch Kane and Vardy. Thirteen of the Argentines 18 goals have come at the Etihad Stadium, but he will not have the luxury of home comforts, with four of Manchester Citys final six games coming on the road.  Remaining fixtures Harry Kane Jamie Vardy Sergio Aguero Romelu Lukaku Stoke (a) West Ham (h) Chelsea (a) Soton (h) - - Newcastle (a) Liverpool (a) West Brom (h) Swansea (h) Stoke (h) - Chelsea (a) Man Utd (a) Soton (a) Bmouth (h) Soton (h) Everton (h) Arsenal (h) Leicester (a) - - - Sunderland (a) Newcastle (a) Chelsea (a) Swansea (a) Norwich (h) Repeat performance?Lukaku would surpass his Golden Boot rivals and claim the prize if he were to repeat his goalscoring form against his remaining opponents. The Belgian, who has played two games fewer than Kane, Vardy and Mahrez, and one game fewer than Aguero, notched an impressive eight goals in the corresponding fixtures - a repeat would take his tally to 26 goals.Aguero would finish second if things were to repeat themselves, with his tally of 18 boosted by the six goals he scored in games with Newcastle and Chelsea alone. Could Romelu Lukaku make a late surge for the Golden Boot? Kane and Vardy would be tied for third place, with the pair adding just one and two goals to their current tallies if they were to replicate their goals from earlier on in the season.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. Golden Boot 15/16 (if results repeated) Player Team Current total Goals in reverse fixtures Total Romelu Lukaku Everton 18 +8 26 Sergio Aguero Man City 18 +6 24 Harry Kane Tottenham 22 +1 23 Jamie Vardy Leicester 21 +2 23 Riyad Mahrez Leicester 16 +6 22 Sky Sports pundit Matt Le Tissiers verdictI think Vardy will finish top goalscorer this season after he got himself back in the goals with a brilliant brace at Sunderland, and Leicester will go on and win the league from here. I dont think its just between those two now, though, I wouldnt put it past Aguero to score four goals in a game.Who do you think will hold their nerve and claim this seasons Golden Boot?

LOUIS -- St. Billy Smith Islanders Jersey .1 million pounds ($61.2 million) on Saturday, giving the beleaguered English Premier League champions a major lift. http://www.islanderssale.com/authentic-anders-lee-islanders-jersey/ . To the surprise of many, it isnt the Wolverines but their in-state rivals the Michigan State Spartans. PHOENIX -- A Colorado woman who completed a nearly 82-mile swim across Lake Powell in 56 hours said Friday the vast distance wasnt her biggest fear.I wasnt concerned about the distance. I had trained and worked for that part, Sarah Thomas told The Associated Press a day after completing what is believed to be a record-breaking marathon swim. But how do you stay awake that long?Thomas, who was still in bed after sleeping nearly 12 hours, said she credits the little bit of caffeine in the liquid carbohydrate and electrolyte mixtures she consumed every 30 minutes during the swim.The 34-year-old from Conifer didnt stop swimming or get out of the water the entire time, allowing her to qualify for a possible record for an unassisted marathon swim.She had a team of 13 people with her who traveled by house boat and gave her food every half hour in the form of a water bottle tied to a cord.Thomas swam mostly freestyle but occasionally switched to backstroke or breaststroke to loosen up. The grueling swim made it difficult to walk afterward because her feet and body were so shaky.Exhausted and hungry, her first post-swim meal wasnt until breakfast the next day.This morning my husband tracked me down an omelet and some hash browns. I have to say it was the best food Ive had in my life, Thomas said.Thomas had done six major marathon swims since 2010, including efforts in Lake Tahoe and the English Channel. But none were as long as her journey on Lake Powell along the Arizona-Utah border.She initially planned to swim in the ocean off the California coast but decided a lake might be better and began a search for the right one.There are not a lot of lakes that are big enough and logistically make sense, she said.She chose Lake Powell for its amenities and proximity to Colorrado. Adam Pelech Islanders Jersey. er training consisted of at least 25 hours of swimming each week since April. At the peak, she averaged 50 miles a week.She said she was able to commit the time to training partly due to being able to work from home in her job as a hospital recruiter.The San Francisco-based Marathon Swimmers Federation will have the task of verifying Thomas swim.Co-founder Evan Morrison said two independent observers, who are well-known marathon swimmers as well, were present to see her swim.They have the knowledge and the credibility. Its not just Sarah asking her brother to come out and say `Oh yeah, my sister did this, Morrison said.A federation panel comprised of 16 members from the U.S. and other countries will review logs, GPS tracking data and any photos and video.Morrison expects everything to pass muster, calling Thomas one of the most well-respected and well-known swimmers in recent years.The current record holder for an unassisted solo, open-water swim is Australian swimmer Chloe McCardel. In October 2014, she swam 77.3 miles in the ocean in the Bahamas in a little over 41 hours.Thomas swim was in a body of water with no current impacting her.So, in one sense its a different category, Morrison said. In another sense, 81.8 miles is longer than 77.3. If ratified, it will be the longest unassisted solo swim in any body of water.Thomas has no plans for more marathons until the Cook Strait in 2018. In the meantime, she plans to just keep swimming. Distance, not speed, has always been the draw for her.I may not be the fastest but Im happy to keep going and going, she said.---AP reporter Josh Hoffner contributed to this report. ' ' '
