Mohamed Salah is on the brink of becoming only the fifth player in Premier League history to score 20+ goals in five separate seasons.
The No.11 goes in to Liverpool’s away game at AFC Bournemouth on Saturday having netted 19 times in just 22 top-flight appearances so far in 2024-25.
Therefore, if he strikes at Vitality Stadium he will join Alan Shearer (seven times), Thierry Henry (five), Sergio Aguero (six) and Harry Kane (six) in having recorded 20+ goals in five Premier League campaigns.
Salah (176 goals) is also only one behind sixth-placed Frank Lampard and eight adrift of Aguero in fifth in the division’s all-time top scorers list.

The last team to win at home against each of the previous campaign’s top three sides – having finished in the bottom half themselves – was Blackburn Rovers in 2005-06.
None of the seven Premier League meetings between Bournemouth (two wins) and Liverpool (five wins) at Vitality Stadium have finished in a draw.
The two sides to have the most shots following a high turnover in the Premier League this season are Bournemouth (45) and Liverpool (40).
The Reds have won all 14 Premier League fixtures this term in which they have scored the first goal and have won 23 of 24 such matches in all competitions.
Salah is also the only player to score a league hat-trick for Liverpool against Bournemouth, doing so in a 4-0 away victory in December 2018.
