As another amazing weekend of Premier League football approaches, Mohamed Salah, Liverpool’s explosive striker, sits on the verge of breaking many key records if he scores against Everton in the next Merseyside derby.
List of the records Mohamed Salah can achieve if he scores against Everton:
- 200 career league goals, with 142 for Liverpool.
- The first Liverpool player to score in each of the opening four league games at Anfield since 1990/91.
- Potential joint-second place in Liverpool’s top scorers in Merseyside derbies of the Premier League era with one more goal.
- Joint-sixth on Liverpool’s all-time home scorers list with 104 goals at Anfield, alongside Sir Kenny Dalglish and Steven Gerrard.
- Also, Jurgen Klopp can surpass Rafa Benitez’s record of eight Premier League Merseyside derby wins with a victory on Saturday.
Salah, the Reds’ all-time record Premier League goalscorer, has been on fire this season, scoring five goals and assisting four more in only eight league matches. So far, no player in England’s top division has been more involved in goal-scoring situations, establishing his position as Liverpool’s vital attacking power.
Salah has the opportunity this Saturday to surpass the extraordinary milestone of 200 career league goals, 142 of which have come while wearing the Liverpool jersey.
What makes this even more remarkable is that Salah has an opportunity to become the first Liverpool player since Peter Beardsley in the 1990/91 season to score in all four league games at Anfield.
Salah has consistently been an issue in Everton’s side, scoring five times in the Merseyside derby in nine matches. With one more goal, he would join Divock Origi and Robbie Fowler as Liverpool’s top scorers in Merseyside derbies during the Premier League era. To take the top spot, he’ll need to match Steven Gerrard’s nine-goal performance.
Additionally, if Salah scores against Everton, he will have 104 goals at Anfield, tying him with Liverpool legends Sir Kenny Dalglish and Steven Gerrard as the club’s joint-sixth all-time leading home scorers.
The game also provides an opportunity for Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp to reach a personal milestone. A win would be his eighth Premier League Merseyside derby win, breaking Rafa Benitez’s record. Klopp has an excellent record against Everton, with only one defeat in 17 matches comes across and a strong record against rival manager Sean Dyche.
With these incredible achievements in reach, all eyes will be on Mohamed Salah and Jurgen Klopp as they attempt to stamp their names deeper into Liverpool’s legendary history.
