Mohamed Salah chases two historic milestones as Liverpool face Crystal Palace

Liverpool Egyptian star Mohamed Salah is on the brink of history as the Reds prepare to take on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday in the Premier League. Kick-off is scheduled for 2:00 PM GMT as part of Matchday 6.

Arne Slot’s men head into the clash with a perfect record of five wins from five matches, sitting top of the table with 15 points. Palace, meanwhile, have collected 9 points from their opening five games, placing them fifth.

Historic milestones wait for Mohamed Salah:

For Salah, the fixture carries added significance. The Egyptian forward is just two goals away from reaching 250 career goals for Liverpool in all competitions. He currently stands on 248 goals, ranking third on the club’s all-time scorers list.

Salah’s influence extends beyond goalscoring. In the Premier League alone, he has been directly involved in 274 goals (186 goals, 88 assists). That tally leaves him only two contributions shy of equaling Wayne Rooney’s record for the most goal involvements at a single club in the competition (183 goals, 93 assists for Manchester United).

A brace against Crystal Palace would see Salah not only hit the 250-goal landmark for Liverpool but also draw level with Rooney’s iconic Premier League record—further cementing his status as one of the league’s greatest ever forwards.
