Mohamed Salah eyes historic Premier League record against Everton

Mohamed Salah is on the brink of matching an exclusive Premier League record as Liverpool prepare to take on Everton in the Merseyside derby on Wednesday, April 2. The Egyptian forward could join an elite group of players by delivering another decisive performance against the Toffees.

Salah’s Chance to Match Sutton and Shearer

A goal and an assist at Anfield would see Salah become only the third player in Premier League history to both score and assist in two separate matches against Everton within the same season.

The feat has only been achieved by Chris Sutton in the 1993-94 campaign and Alan Shearer in 1994-95.

Salah, 32, is well-positioned to reach the milestone, having already found the net and provided an assist during Liverpool’s 2-0 victory over Everton at Goodison Park earlier this season.

With his ability to rise to the occasion in high-stakes encounters, all eyes will be on the Egyptian forward as he looks to make history.

Salah’s Dominance in the Merseyside Derby

Since joining Liverpool in 2017, Salah has been a consistent threat against Everton. Over the past seven seasons, he has netted six goals and provided two assists in Merseyside derbies, cementing his status as one of the fixture’s most influential players.

His contributions have been instrumental in Liverpool’s dominance over their city rivals, and another standout performance on Wednesday could further extend the Reds’ stronghold in this historic rivalry.

Liverpool’s Title Charge and Salah’s Season So Far

Liverpool enter the derby sitting atop the Premier League table with 70 points, holding a commanding 12-point lead over second-placed Arsenal. With nine matches remaining, Jürgen Klopp’s men are in pole position to reclaim the title, and Salah remains central to their championship ambitions.

The Egyptian international has been in stellar form this season, featuring in 43 matches across all competitions.

He has already registered an impressive 32 goals and 22 assists, underlining his importance to the team.

As Liverpool continue their pursuit of domestic and European glory, Salah’s ability to deliver in crucial moments will be key.

Against Everton, he has the chance to not only edge closer to another Premier League title but also etch his name alongside two of English football’s greats.
