Mohamed Salah is no stranger to making history. The Liverpool star has shattered records since arriving at Anfield, and now, he’s on the edge of writing another unique chapter in the Premier League storybook.
As Liverpool prepare to face Leicester City this weekend, Salah has more than just three points on his mind.
After a tough loss to Fulham, the Reds bounced back last weekend with a dramatic win over West Ham.
Virgil van Dijk’s late header sealed the 2-1 win, keeping Liverpool’s title hopes alive. A win against Leicester, combined with an Arsenal slip-up at Ipswich, could even crown Liverpool as champions.
But for Salah, Sunday’s clash offers a shot at something no player has ever done before in the Premier League.
Mohamed Salah has a shot at Premier League scoring history
Salah could become the first player to score in all six matches against promoted teams in a single Premier League season.
He’s already scored against Ipswich home and away, found the net in the first meeting with Leicester, and bagged braces in both games against Southampton. That’s five for five — and Leicester could complete the set.
Fans know Salah loves the big moments, and this one would be the cherry on top of a brilliant season. But that’s not the only record he’s chasing.
The 32-year-old also has his eyes on the Premier League assist record. With 18 assists so far, he’s just two short of matching the 20 set by Thierry Henry (2002-03) and Kevin De Bruyne (2019-20). One more day of Salah magic could push him even closer.
And let’s not forget — he’s also leading the Golden Boot race with 27 goals. If he wins it, he’ll tie Henry’s record of four Golden Boots. Not bad company to keep.
Salah could walk out of King Power with a win, a record, or maybe even both. Either way, the Egyptian King continues to rule headlines.
