Liverpool continued their dominant Premier League campaign with a 3-1 victory over Leicester City, extending their lead at the top of the table to seven points. Mohamed Salah, instrumental once again with a goal, shared that this season carries a different energy. The Egyptian star, pivotal to Liverpool’s title-winning campaign in 2020, reiterated his ambition to secure another league trophy.
“This season feels special,” Salah admitted, emphasizing the importance of staying humble and injury-free. Drawing on past lessons—like the 2018-19 season when Liverpool narrowly lost out to Manchester City despite an early lead—he remains cautious yet optimistic.
Salah’s performance has been nothing short of exceptional. He leads the league with 16 goals and recently joined an elite group of Premier League players to score 100 goals at home. His strike against Leicester marked his 200th goal for Liverpool, a milestone reached by only four other players in the club’s storied history.
Despite Liverpool’s excellent form, head coach Arne Slot remains measured in his outlook. Speaking ahead of their clash with West Ham United, Slot downplayed the significance of Liverpool’s unbeaten away record, saying the true measure of success will come only at the season’s end.
“I don’t look at it that way,” Slot said when asked about their away form. “The focus is on maintaining performance and avoiding complacency in a highly competitive league.”
With key players like Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold nearing the end of their contracts, Slot remains confident in their commitment. He assured fans that as long as they maintain their current level of play, negotiations about their future will proceed smoothly.
Liverpool faces upcoming challenges, including matches against West Ham United and rivals Manchester United. As Salah dreams of adding another Premier League title to his illustrious career, Slot’s steady hand aims to guide the team through this critical phase of the season.
