Mohamed Salah eyes new historic records against Chelsea

Egyptian winger Mohamed Salah is once again set to spearhead Liverpool's attack against Chelsea this Sunday evening at Stamford Bridge, as part of Matchday 35 in the Premier League.

This clash will be the Reds' first outing since officially clinching the title, sealed after their emphatic 5-1 victory over Tottenham last weekend. It marks the club's 20th English championship in their storied history.

Salah in pursuit of new heights

Mohamed Salah approaches this high-stakes encounter with his sights set on breaking even more records, both in goals and assists. Delivering a sensational season, he's been directly involved in 56 goals across all competitions: 33 scored and 23 assisted.

The Egyptian is now just eight goals away from surpassing Erling Haaland to become the Premier League's single-season top scorer, a record the Norwegian set with 36 goals for Manchester City.

A clear target at Stamford Bridge

Salah could also etch his name in history as the Premier League's single-season assist king. He needs just two more assists to eclipse Arsenal legend Thierry Henry, who holds the record with 20 assists in a single campaign.

Finally, the Egyptian national team captain has the chance this year to match Thierry Henry by claiming a fourth Golden Boot—an achievement yet to be matched in English top-flight football.
