#6 Mohamed Salah

Liverpool FC v Watford FC - Premier League

Mohamed Salah has been far from his free-scoring best this season, but he has still played a vital role in Liverpool's rise to the top of the Premier League.

Salah netted just once in February for the Reds, in a league game against Bournemouth. However, with 17 league goals this season, he remains just one behind Sergio Aguero and still among the favourites to claim the Golden Boot.

Liverpool will look to him to provide the impetus when they head to Munich for the second leg of their Champions League encounter, and if past exploits are taken into account, the Egyptian can be expected to step up and deliver.

For now though, he drops 2 spots to #6 in our Power Rankings.
