A Premier League goal-scoring record will almost certainly be smashed this weekend as the season reaches its climax.
With 10 matches to be played on Sunday, there have been 1,209 goals scored so far this season at an average of 3.27 per game.
Thirteen more are needed to match the all-time Premier League record of 1,222 from the inaugural 1992-93 season when there were 22 teams rather than the current 20.
With the fewest amount of goals for a final round of fixtures standing at 21 in 1997-98, this year’s campaign looks like being the most prolific for forwards.
