Manchester City are coming up against statistically the deadliest striker in the Premier League when they face Crystal Palace on Easter Monday. Glenn Murray has scored a goal on average every 91 minutes this season - giving him a better minutes-per-goal ratio than anyone else in the top flight. Harry Kane and Diego Costa are locked on 19 goals in the race to finish as this season's top scorer but rank fourth and fifth respectively, behind Papiss Cisse and Olivier Giroud. Glenn Murray celebrates scoring from the penalty spot against Stoke City last time out . Harry Kane has scored 19 goals for Tottenham in what has been a breakthrough season for him . Chelsea striker Diego Costa has enjoyed a prolific first season in England after signing from Atletico Madrid . Olivier Giroud has had a fine season despite missing a large chunk of it through injury . In-form Arsenal striker Giroud and Newcastle hitman Cisse have had their seasons interrupted by injury and suspension, while Murray was out on loan at Reading until January. Taking into account only players who have played more than 300 minutes of football, Chelsea have four players in the top 10, including Andre Schurrle, who left for Wolfsburg in January. Costa is expected to miss two weeks of action with a hamstring injury but the minutes-per-goal ratios of Loic Remy and Didier Drogba suggest he won't be too sorely missed - they rank eighth and ninth respectively. Intriguingly, ex-Chelsea veteran Frank Lampard has a marginally better ratio than his Manchester City team-mate Sergio Aguero and ranks sixth on the list. But Murray, who has scored four goals for Palace in 364 minutes this season, betters them all. Murray slides in to score for Crystal Palace against Arsenal at Selhurst Park back in February . The experienced frontman celebrates scoring one of two goals he netted against West Ham in February .
