Haaland is still the player with the most goals earlier this season. 9 matches scored 9 goals. Followed by Moh Salah with 7 goals. I think Haaland will still be the favourite to be the top scorer this season.
Here's a provisional list of the 5 names of EPL top scorers
1. Erling Haaland 9 goals
2. Mohamed Salah 7 goals
3. Son Heu Ming 7 goals
4. Alexander Isak 6 goals
5. Jarrod Bowen, 6 goals

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/premier-league/top-scorersLooks more competitive for Premier League top scorer in this season due Erling Haaland goals score not large gap with other player and behind two goals left only. Due injury with Kevin De Bruyne, Erling Haaland on difficult position keep consistent scoring goals but no doubt with his capacity defend as Premier League top scorer in this season. Talking about which one favorable to be top scorer this season looks interested, I don't think favorite Haaland but also Salah, Son Heu Ming and Alexander Isak have potential to be top scorer depend on their consistency performance.
If can pick two name candidate become English Premier League top scorer season 2023/24 I think Erling Haaland and Salah are favorite players with bigger opportunity become top scorer.
