12 February 2010 11:57
Despite Newcastle's wealth of fire-power up front, it is midfielder Kevin Nolan who leads the way with 10 Championship goals. Nolan is five short of Cardiff's Peter Whittingham, but it is former Toon striker Michael Chopra who the bookies fancy to finish the season top of the pile.
