Erling Haaland scored 22 league goals last season - the lowest of his Manchester City career thus far

Erling Haaland has been warned that Mohamed Salah will outscore him this season because the Liverpool ace doesn't wholly depend on his team-mates to set up chances for him.

That's according to former Manchester City manager Stuart Pearce, who reckons the Anfield legend will claim the Premier League's Golden Boot for the second consecutive campaign.

The 33-year-old secured his fourth Golden Boot in total last term following his 29-goal haul that propelled the Reds to Premier League glory in Arne Slot's debut season at the helm.



Only Thierry Henry has claimed as many Golden Boots as Salah in the Premier League era.

A fifth success this campaign would represent yet another milestone the Egyptian has achieved during his remarkable spell on Merseyside, reports the Liverpool Echo.

Salah's triumph last term ended Haaland's two-season stranglehold on the accolade, with the Norwegian managing 22 league strikes despite being sidelined for nearly a month with an ankle problem near the end of the campaign.

Both forwards made impressive starts to the new Premier League campaign's opening weekend, with Salah finding the net in Liverpool's thrilling 4-2 home victory against Bournemouth, whilst Haaland was among four players to bag a brace as City cruised to a commanding 4-0 triumph at Wolves.

Speaking to BestBettingSites, Pearce highlighted Salah's fitness record and his ability to create his own opportunities as reasons why he believes the forward will edge out Haaland this term.

He plays all the games.

"There doesn't seem to be any rotation with Mo Salah either.

But I'm not sure he'll pip Salah." Pearce went even further with his predictions, tipping the Reds to clinch their first back-to-back league triumph since 1984.

"I think Liverpool will win it," the former England defender declared.

There's also been talk about Marc Guehi coming to Anfield.

"So that would be two more outstanding Premier League players in the squad for the season to come.
