#5 Victory here could make Mohamed Salah a Ballon d'Or contender

Is he the world's best player right now?

With 44 goals and 16 assists across all competitions for Liverpool, Mohamed Salah has catapulted his name across the world of football.

The Egyptian forward has been on fire recently and continues to provide a threat to opposition defences too. Considering just how focused he remains ahead of the World Cup, there's a strong possibility that he could win the Ballon d'Or award this year.

Having netted a stunner against Brighton last weekend, Salah broke the all-time Premier League goalscoring record. With 32 league goals, he is a serious contender to win the accolade for world's best player alongside Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo - the latter of which he'll be up against next week.

He has displayed tremendous character throughout the campaign and if Liverpool manage to do the unthinkable, it could undoubtedly be the start of something beautiful at Anfield.

The victory is pivotal for Salah's chances of winning the Ballon d'Or but considering just how dominant both Messi and Ronaldo have been, his emergence has brought a breath of fresh air across the football world.
