Statistics and key points as Liverpool FC, titles holders, prepare for clash with Chelsea in the English Premier League
Liverpool's Mohamed Salah is having a season to remember, and there's a possibility it could get even better. The Egyptian forward is currently tied for the most Premier League goals this season with 22, and he's also tied for the most hat-tricks with two.
If Salah manages to break these records, he could potentially surpass the record for the most hat-tricks in a single Premier League season by a Liverpool player, currently held by Robbie Fowler with three hat-tricks in the 1994-1995 season.
Moreover, Salah is on the brink of making history by becoming the record holder for the highest total of goals and assists in a single Premier League season. He needs two more goal involvements to achieve this feat. If he does, he will join Thierry Henry as the only player to score 20+ goals and provide 20+ assists in one Premier League season.
Salah is also closing in on the all-time Premier League record for goals and assists combined in a single campaign, currently held by Alan Shearer and Andy Cole. With 12 more points to play for, he is only three goals away from equaling the record for the most Premier League goals in a single season by a Liverpool player (32 goals by Mohamed Salah in 2017-2018).
Meanwhile, Chelsea's pursuit of Champions League qualification is heating up. Their upcoming matches against Newcastle and Nottingham Forest are crucial, as they aim to secure a spot in next season's Champions League. Chelsea stayed on course for this goal with a 1-0 win over Everton.
Chelsea are also having a successful home season, having lost only three times at Stamford Bridge in all competitions this term, marking their best home season since 2018/19. However, they face a challenging streak against Liverpool, as they have been winless in their last 10 encounters with the Reds in all competitions.
Liverpool, who secured their 20th English title last time out with a thrashing of Tottenham 5-1, are aiming to break the record for the biggest winning margin in Premier League history (currently 17 points). They only need six points to hit 90, which would make them the second club, after Manchester City, to reach or surpass 90 points on four occasions in a Premier League campaign. Liverpool could also equal another Premier League record by finishing the campaign with a total of 94 points, which would be the sixth-highest tally in Premier League history.
As the season reaches its climax, the race for records and titles is heating up, with Salah's historic season at the forefront.
