5 reasons why Mohamed Salah should be the PFA Player of the Year ahead of Kevin De Bruyne

#3 Head to head record

Salah has dominated in the head to head meetings between the two

A barometer where you can judge two world-class players quite adequately is when they face off against one another. The two best players of the current season - De Bruyne and Salah went head to head four times this campaign, twice in the Premier League and twice in the Champions League.

And looking at the results and the individual performances, it is safe to say that Salah wins 3-1, hands down, in this regard. De Bruyne was the better player between the two when City won 5-0 at the Etihad but all the other times, it was Salah who was the better and more influential player for his side.

In Liverpool's 4-3 league win over City, Salah scored a 40-yard goal and also provided an assist. In the 3-0 win over City in the first leg of the Champions League, Salah again scored one and assisted one, despite playing 40 minutes less than his Belgian counterpart.

The first half of the second leg saw De Bruyne working his magic but the second half saw Salah scoring the all-important away goal and sending Liverpool into the semis at the expense of De Bruyne's City.

Hence, with a better head to head record and a better influencing presence, it is again Salah that makes the case for winning the POTY award.
