Mohamed Salah will be hoping to break a Liverpool Premier League record in Monday’s fixture against Brentford.
Despite an indifferent start to the campaign, the Merseyside giants have recorded four straight victories to boost their chances of regaining a spot in the top four of the standings.
Should Jurgen Klopp‘s side prevail in West London on Monday evening, they will move ahead of Tottenham Hotspur and into fifth position, a point adrift of fourth-placed Manchester United having played a game more than the Red Devils.
Although their hosts are currently on a five-match unbeaten streak in the top flight, Liverpool are favourites to record a third away win in a row.
In each of the victories over Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa, Mohamed Salah played a starring role, chipping in with three goals and an assist across the two games.
After a double was netted versus Spurs, Salah provided a goal and an assist in the Boxing Day success at Villa, making it 16 strikes and six assists in all competitions during 2022-23.
Should Salah get on the scoresheet against the Bees, he will become Liverpool’s highest goalscorer in Premier League away fixtures.
The Egypt international currently sits on 55 goals alongside Michael Owen, and the 30-year-old will fancy his chances of overtaking the England legend.
Just five of Salah’s 16 goals this campaign have been scored at Anfield, with the remainder coming at away grounds aside from the effort that he contributed versus Manchester City in the Community Shield.
Salah can also become just the second player to score at least 20 goals in London and on Merseyside if he adds another goal for his season on Monday.
Only Louis Saha – who spent time at Fulham, Tottenham Hotspur and Everton during his playing days – has achieved such a feat in the Premier League.
