Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah is poised to break multiple Premier League records as he nears a milestone in his illustrious career.
With a visit to Aston Villa on the horizon, Salah has the opportunity to etch his name in the record books once again.
Assist Record in Sight
Salah requires just one more assist to become the third player in Premier League history to provide 10 or more assists in away games within a single season.
He would join an elite group consisting of Muzzy Izzet (2003-04) and Cesc Fabregas (2014-15).

Salah is also closing in on several other Premier League records:
– All-time assist record: Salah needs 6 more assists to equal the division’s assist record, currently held by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne.
– Premier League top scorer: Salah is just 4 goals away from drawing level with Sergio Aguero (184) as the Premier League’s joint fifth highest goalscorer.
– Goal involvements in a 38-game season: Salah is on track to surpass the record for goal involvements in a 38-game Premier League season (44).
– Goal involvements in a 42-game season: He is also poised to break the record for goal involvements in a 42-game season (47).
Salah’s Legacy
Regardless of whether Salah breaks these records, his legacy as one of the Premier League’s greatest ever forwards is already cemented.
With 83 assists in the Premier League, Salah ranks 10th in the division’s all-time assist charts, silencing critics who have accused him of being selfish in the final third.
