In less than an hour, Liverpool will take on their historic rivals Manchester United at Anfield for matchday eight of the Premier League.

Despite a rather quiet start to the season for Mohamed Salah, with just two goals in seven matches, this game presents the perfect opportunity for the Egyptian star to rediscover his best form. Manchester United remains his favorite opponent: he has scored more goals against them than any other team.

Salah boasts staggering stats against the Red Devils: 13 goals in 14 games, including 10 in the Premier League, plus 6 assists—making it 22 direct goal contributions in 17 encounters.

In the last three meetings between the two clubs, Salah found the net in the 2-2 draw in 2023-2024, played a decisive role in the 3-0 victory, and struck again in last season's 2-2 draw.
