The fact that proves Mohamed Salah is the father of Leeds

After Liverpool booked their place in the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League with a 3-0 win in which Mohamed Salah was one of the main factors in the Reds' victory by opening the scoring at the end of the first half, the Egyptian will now focus all his football on the match against Leeds United, an opponent that despite occupying a place in the bottom of the table is still a latent risk for the Merseyside institution.

The Egypt international striker has been one of the most consistent players in the European Champions League, sharing the scoring lead with six goals, but in the Premier League, the "Pharaoh's" numbers have not been as good in front of goal, being well below the quota registered by Erling Haaland with Manchester City or Harry Kane with Tottenham.

Although the Egyptian's goal drought has been well and truly solved by his teammates, the striker is looking to get back to his best day after day, showing signs of improvement during this tenth month of the year as he looks to considerably increase his goalscoring quota against an opponent that has been a goal magnet for the African during his time at Anfield.

For the 2021-2022 season Liverpool faced Leeds twice, with the Egyptian scoring in both games to add three more goals to his tally of 33. Even a season ago in 2020-2021, Mohamed Salah was able to score a hat-trick which accounted for 10% of all goals in that football year in England.

Salah's good run of form against this institution could continue in 2022-2023, helping both the team and himself if he finds an opportunity to score over the course of 90 minutes, for if Liverpool's best man is to excel in the run-up to the World Cup, his confidence will make him more assured and decisive in the final third of the pitch.
