Mohamed Salah will be looking to emulate a Liverpool legend when the Premier League leaders face Arsenal on Sunday afternoon.

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah could emulate the record of a club legend when the Premier League leaders face Arsenal on Sunday.

Since the arrival of Arne Slot, the Merseyside giants have won seven of their eight fixtures to sit at the top of the Premier League standings>.

Furthermore, Liverpool have prevailed in their other four matches in the Champions League and EFL Cup to leave the Dutchman with 11 wins from 12 matches.

Their outstanding form under Slot has come at a time when Salah is one of three players who are currently due to be out of contract at the end of the season.

However, when the Egypt international takes to the pitch at the Emirates Stadium, he will be attempting to write his name into Liverpool history for the umpteenth time.

What record can Salah equal or surpass?

Salah already finds himself in ninth place on the all-time list of Premier League goalscorers alongside Jermain Defoe, the pair having netted 162 strikes.

Should the 32-year-old get on the scoresheet versus the Gunners, he will equal the total of Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler.

A double or more in North London would take Salah into eighth place on his own, which would leave him with Thierry Henry as his next target.

All but two of Salah's 162 Premier League goals have come in the colours of Liverpool, with his other two efforts being registered at Chelsea.

He already sits 32 goals ahead of Fowler in Liverpool's all-time list, with Fowler having netted 128 times for the Merseyside outfit in England's top flight.

Other relevant Salah numbers

In his eight Premier League starts this season, Salah has already contributed five goals and five assists, only failing to deliver either of those in two matches.

Salah has competed in 16 matches versus Arsenal, chipping in with 10 goals and two assists during those matches. He has only scored more times against four other clubs.

Of those aforementioned fixtures, Salah has ended up on the winning side on eight occasions, all of which have come in the 14 Premier League games.
