Liverpool star will be seeking to overtake Hall of Fame trio for goals scored on Matchweek 1
Mohamed Salah will be setting his sights on another season-opener record for Liverpool after the fixtures are released at 09:00 BST on Thursday 16 June.
With his goal in the Reds’ 3-0 victory at Norwich City last August, Salah became the first player to score in five successive opening weekend matches.
It also moved him to within one of the record for the number of goals scored on the opening weekend of the season held jointly by Hall of Fame inductees Alan Shearer, Frank Lampard and Wayne Rooney, who are tied on eight.
Salah is not the only player eyeing his place in the Matchweek 1 record books, as Jamie Vardy is also in contention.
The Leicester City striker struck his seventh opening-weekend goal in 10 seasons to earn a 1-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers last season.
The teams who will face Liverpool and Leicester on the weekend of 6/7 August will have their work cut out to nullify the threat of the league’s two fastest starters.
