Manchester City v Liverpool - UEFA Champions League Quarter Final Second Leg
Mohamed Salah, like Lukaku, had spent 2 seasons at Chelsea, where he scored 2 goals from 13 games. It was in the 2013/14 and 2014/15 season, which seems to be ages ago now. In the 2014/15 season, he joined Florentina on loan, where he scored 9 goals in 26 games in total. His next loan spell was in Roma the following season, where he scored 15 goals in the 42 games he played in total. His move to Roma eventually turned permanent next season and he scored 19 goals from 41 appearances. He ended his time in Italy with 34 goals from 83 games and joined Liverpool in the summer of 2017. Since then, Salah has scored 35 goals in 51 appearances, with 177 shots and 78 shots on target. He has missed 30 big chances and has 44% shooting accuracy.

In the 2017/18 season, Salah lit up the Premier League, scoring 32 goals and won the Premier League Golden Boot. He recorded 144 shots, 67 of which were on target, all of which is very impressive given the fact that he plays through the left of the front three.
This season, Salah has already scored 1 goal and attempted 10 shots in 2 games. 4 of those shots were on target. Even though he has had just 1 fantastic season in the Premier League, keeping in mind his footballing qualities and skill set, one can safely assume that Salah will be among the goals this season as well. Whether he can win another Golden Shoe can only be ascertained as the season progresses.

Deepungsu Pandit
Deepungsu is a veteran football journalist who has been covering daily transfer roundups and news for over six years at Sportskeeda. He has written over 8500 articles for the website, and has garnered over 19.5Million reads.
Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
