#1 Mohamed Salah

Mohamed Salah created the record of scoring the most number of goals in a Premier League season (of 38 games) in the previous edition when he scored 32 goals. His exploits on the field earned him multiple individual honours such as the Premier League Golden Boot (2017-18), African Footballer of the Year (2017 and 2018), Premier League Player of the Season (2017-18).

The Egyptian player also received the FIFA Puskás Award in 2018 and earned a second place for UEFA Champions League Forward of the Season (2017-18).

The 26-year-old has been hogging all the limelight over the past two years. He is currently the top scorer of the ongoing Premier League with 16 goals to his name in 23 appearances.

Exceptional ball control, speed, clinical finishing, dribbling ability - Salah possesses them all and is one of the most complete players of the present generation. The Liverpool forward is yet to win a major trophy with his team.

The Reds are currently at the top of the Premier League table with 19 wins, three draws, and a loss from their 23 matches. It seems like Liverpool's as well as Salah's title drought may finally be over. The Reds have won five Champions League trophies and the last one came during the 2004–05 edition.

The last major title Salah won was the Swiss Super League trophy for the 2013-14 season. He was with Basel at the time.

Liverpool will be squaring off against Bayern Munich in the last 16 of Champions League on 20 February 2019.
