Liverpool’s upcoming clash with Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City is set to be a showdown of epic proportions, with one player in particular causing nightmares for the Cityzens – Mohamed Salah.
Since joining Liverpool in 2017, Salah has been a force to be reckoned with in the Premier League. However, it is against Manchester City that he truly shines, with 15 goal involvements in Liverpool’s last 20 Premier League goals against City.
In fact, only Manchester United has suffered more from Salah’s goal contributions than City. Every time Liverpool faces City, Salah steps up and delivers, leaving the Etihad Stadium in awe of his talent.
With his recent goal against Aston Villa, Salah has tied Wayne Rooney for combined goals + assists for a single Premier League club. His ability to not only score but also create chances makes him a key player in swinging matches – especially against City.
As Liverpool prepares to face Manchester City this Sunday, history is on the line. Liverpool has the chance to secure back-to-back away wins at City for the first time since 1991, with Salah poised to lead the charge once again.
While Erling Haaland continues his scoring rampage, Salah remains the player to watch when it comes to facing Guardiola’s tactical genius. If Salah is unleashed on Sunday, Manchester City could once again find themselves at the mercy of Liverpool’s most relentless giant-killer.
