Premier League top scorers: What happens if Vardy, Ings and Aubameyang are tied?
The Premier League season comes to a conclusion today but how is the Golden Boot decided if two or more players are tied?
Danny Ings: Southampton striker's season praised by pundit
The final round of the 2019/20 Premier League campaign will unfold this evening. But one of the awards still up for grabs is the Golden Boot, which is awarded to the league's top scorer.
Leicester striker Jamie Vardy leads the way heading into the final day.
His 23 goals this season puts him a strong position to win the prize, with Southampton's Danny Ings second in the race on 21.
Also in the running is Arsenal's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang with 20 goals, while Liverpool star Mohamed Salah is likely to miss out despite netting an impressive 19 times.
Although Vardy has the chance to win the gong for the first time, he insisted it wasn't his priority.

He told the club's wesbite: “At the end of the day it's all about putting performances in for for the club and picking up as many points as possible.
“I've said before, it doesn't really matter who scores, as long as we are picking those points up."
Vardy's Leicester host Manchester United on the final, while Ings faces Sheffield United and Aubameyang takes on Watford.
What happens if the Golden Boot is tied?
Unlike the World Cup where the Golden Boot is decided by assists if the top scorers are level, the Premier League instead shares it between the players.
