Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah could break yet another Premier League record when the Reds face Everton in the final Goodison Park Merseyside derby this evening.

The 32-year-old is set to be restored to the Reds’ XI after missing Sunday’s shock 1-0 FA Cup loss to Plymouth Argyle, where Federico Chiesa flattered to deceive on the right wing.

The Italian will now make way for his senior, who still leads the way at the top of the Premier League’s scoring and assisting charts, amassing a terrific 21 strikes and 13 helpers in the current campaign.

Salah’s brace in Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Bournemouth two weekends ago took the former Chelsea man up to 178 goals in the Premier League, usurping Frank Lampard into sixth place in the all-time rankings, and he needs just seven more to overtake Sergio Aguero.
