Fresh off emulating one Thierry Henry record, Mohamed Salah chases more milestones when Liverpool host Arsenal on Sunday.
Mohamed Salah has netted 28 goals and assisted 18 for Liverpool in this season’s Premier League, but more records could tumble in gameweek 36 against Arsenal.
Champions Liverpool return to Anfield for the first time since claiming the league crown against Europa League finalists Tottenham Hotspur a fortnight ago, keen to return to winning ways after last week’s 3-1 loss at Chelsea.
Arne Slot’s men are unbeaten domestically on Merseyside since losing to Nottingham Forest in mid-September, securing 13 wins from 15, including racking up seven consecutive victories.

Possible Salah records against Arsenal
Salah has found the back of the net in four of the seven games during Liverpool’s ongoing winning run at Anfield, scoring against relegated Ipswich, Wolves, Southampton and Spurs, and the forward could make that five in eight.
Another goal on Sunday against Arsenal will see the Egyptian notch his 11th strike against Arsenal, equalling Roberto Firmino's Reds record against the capital club.

Also, if Salah scores or assists in the round 36 fixture, he would move level with Andy Cole (1993-94) and Alan Shearer (1994-95) for total goal involvements in one season.
Given that both Cole and Shearer's hit those feats in a 42-game season, Salah possibly emulating the Premier League legends is seen through a different prism.

Having already equalled Thierry Henry during the week by collecting his third FWA Footballer of the Year award, the Liverpool legend aims to create more history at Anfield.
What’s next for Liverpool?
If Salah does not equal the Firmino record this weekend, the forward could emulate Cole and Shearer in Liverpool’s final games against Brighton or Crystal Palace.
