Fair to say, Rush's record of 25 is unlikely to ever be beaten, even if one discounts the five he bagged in the short-lived Football League Super Cup, scoring all five across both legs of the one and only final in the competition's ill-fated history. For Salah, as mentioned, he has now scored 257 goals in 439 appearances for Liverpool, behind only Rush (346) and Roger Hunt (285) on the club's all-time list.

While Everton are among Salah's favourite opponents, the two teams he has scored the most goals against are Spurs and Manchester United, both 16. He has the chance to add to his eight-goal haul at Old Trafford a week on Sunday, before also facing former side Chelsea at Anfield.The Egyptian king has been nowhere near his best this season, bagging his 12th goal of the campaign at the weekend, following on from a tally of 34 last time round.
