Mohamed Salah Poised to Match Gerrard's Derby Record and Extend Scoring Streak
When Liverpool plays Everton at Goodison Park on Saturday in the eagerly awaited Merseyside Derby, all eyes will be on Mohamed Salah. At 12:30 PM GMT, 2:30 PM Cairo time, and 3:30 PM Saudi Arabia time, the game will begin.
Salah, who has netted seven Premier League goals against Everton since joining Liverpool in 2017, is closing in on legendary milestones. With two more goals, he would match Steven Gerrard’s nine-goal record in the derby, bringing him closer to being the all-time top scorer of this iconic clash in the Premier League era.
Currently, on a streak of scoring in seven consecutive Premier League games, Salah is on the verge of matching Daniel Sturridge’s club record of eight consecutive scoring matches set in 2013-14. Another goal would mark a personal best for the Egyptian star.
Moreover, Salah is currently in seventh place on Liverpool's all-time goal-scoring list, having scored 226 goals for the team. If he scores two goals against Everton, he will match Billy Liddell's record of 228 goals, cementing his status as one of Liverpool's best players ever.
Can Salah deliver another amazing performance? The pressure is on, and everything is ready for the match.
