Manchester CityAs Liverpool stand on the precipice of their 20th top-flight crown, one of their modern icons — Mohamed Salah — is poised to carve yet another indelible mark into Premier League history. Sunday’s trip to the King Power Stadium offers more than just a potential title-defining moment; it presents the Egyptian maestro with an opportunity to become the first player ever to score in all six matches against promoted teams in a single Premier League season.
Following a rare stumble against Fulham, Liverpool reclaimed their rhythm with a gritty 2-1 victory over West Ham United. Luis Díaz’s opener was nullified by an unfortunate Andy Robertson own goal, before Virgil van Dijk delivered a dramatic 89th-minute winner that propelled the Reds to the cusp of greatness.
Should they triumph over Leicester, and if Arsenal falter in their encounter with Ipswich Town, the title could be clinched this very weekend. Yet, amid the grandeur of team ambition, Salah continues to chase personal excellence with unmatched consistency and drive.
Having already found the net in each of Liverpool’s five previous outings against the promoted trio of Ipswich Town, Leicester City, and Southampton, Salah now stands on the threshold of a historic feat. His performances have been nothing short of masterful — scoring in both home and away clashes against Ipswich, delivering in December’s dominant 3-1 win over Leicester, and registering twin braces in Liverpool’s victories over Southampton.
Should he score once more against Leicester, Salah will become the first player in Premier League annals to score in all six encounters against promoted sides in a single campaign — a testament to both his sharpness and his sense for the monumental.
But the pursuit of records does not stop there. Salah, now 32, is also closing in on the hallowed record for most assists in a single Premier League season — a title currently shared by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne, both of whom tallied 20 assists during their peak campaigns in 2002–03 and 2019–20, respectively.
With 18 assists from 32 league appearances thus far, the Liverpool talisman requires just two more to match, and three to surpass, that elite benchmark. In doing so, he would elevate his legacy further as one of the most complete attacking forces the league has ever witnessed.
On another front, Salah is also in contention to equal yet another of Henry’s accolades — the record of four Premier League Golden Boots. With 27 goals already to his name, he leads this season’s scoring charts and appears primed to once again claim the honor.
As Liverpool march toward a potential league title and Salah chases down milestones of historic significance, Sunday’s clash with Leicester promises to be far more than just another fixture. It is a convergence of legacy, ambition, and the ceaseless pursuit of greatness — an ode to a player whose impact continues to define an era.
Mohamed Salah’s legacy in the Premier League is one of brilliance, consistency, and relentless ambition. As records tremble before his stride, his place among the all-time greats grows ever more secure. And as Liverpool chase glory once more, their Egyptian King stands tall — ready to etch another immortal chapter into the annals of football history.
