Mohamed Salah closing on another milestone

Mohamed Salah is closing in on another milestone as the Liverpool winger prepares to face lowly Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium on Monday night.

Only four Reds players in the Premier League era have scored 20 top-flight goals in a season – Robbie Fowler (twice), Fernando Torres, Luis Suarez (twice) and Daniel Sturridge.

However, the gifted Egypt international, who has bagged 18 league goals in 22 league appearances this term, is on the brink of joining that list.

Exactly half of Salah’s league goals have come on his travels and only three times in the Premier League era has a Liverpool player surpassed his current tally of nine.

Suarez scored 14 away in 2013/14 after netting 12 the previous season, while Michael Owen hit 10 in 2002/03.

Salah has overcome a flu bug and will be gunning to add to his account in South Wales on Monday night.
