Salah Set To Become Liverpool's All-Time Premier League Goalscorer
Mohamed Salah's penalty in Liverpool's 2-1 win over Chelsea was his 162nd goal in the Premier League.
It moved the Egyptian up to ninth in the league's all-time list, level with Jermain Defoe and one behind Reds legend Robbie Fowler.
It's only a matter of time before Salah gets the two goals needed to surpass Fowler to become the Anfield club's all-time scorer in the Premier League.
UK betting sites have Salah as one of the favourites to open the scoring at Arsenal on Sunday.
We look at when he might become the club's premier scorer.
Salah is a three-time Golden Boot winner in the Premier League, and while he is five goals behind Manchester City's prolific striker Erling Haaland, he won't give up his quest for a fourth.
Liverpool's next few games offer Salah plenty of opportunities to set a new club record, starting with Arsenal this weekend.
Home games with Brighton and Aston Villa follow, before a trip to Southampton and a home game with Haaland's City.
So when might Salah become the Kop's new king?
When Will Salah Become Liverpool's Premier League Goal King Odds
Game | Odds | Probability |
Home To Brighton (November 2) | 1/2 | 66.7% |
At Arsenal (October 27) | 2/1 | 33.3% |
Home To Aston Villa (November 9) | 9/2 | 18.2% |

Injury-Hit Gunners Are First Up
Arsenal welcome Liverpool to the Emirates on Sunday in one of the biggest games of the season so far.
The Gunners are four points behind the league's early pacesetters and defeat for Mikel Arteta's side will leave them seven points off top spot.
Discipline has been an issue for Arsenal with three red cards already this season. They've dropped seven points in those three games.
They have also been hit with injuries to key players and they look set to be without Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka and Riccardo Calafiori.
Salah has a great record against Arsenal with 10 goals in his last 12 meetings and he is 2/1 to score the two goals needed to move past Fowler.
The Egyptian is 6/1 to be first scorer and 14/1 on football betting sites to score twice at the Emirates.
Salah Will Have His Sights Set On Seagulls
It would be fitting if Salah became Liverpool's all-time leading scorer in the Premier League at Anfield, in front of the fans who adore him.
If Salah scores one goal at Arsenal this weekend, then he will only need one in the following game, which is against Brighton at Anfield.
Salah has scored nine times in 14 games against the Seagulls, including three in both meetings last season.
The 32-year-old is 1/2 to set the new record against Brighton.
Could Salah Set Record Against Villa?
If the record has yet to be broken in the Brighton game, then it could happen against Aston Villa.
Aston Villa are top of the Champions League table with nine points from a possible nine, with goal difference keeping them above Liverpool, who have also started with three wins from three in Europe.
Salah has scored six goals in his last eight games against Villa, and the Egyptian will be looking to score against the Midlands club for the fifth successive season.
The former Chelsea and Roma forward is 9/2 to break the club's record against Villa on November 9.
Who's Above Salah In The Premier League's All-Time List?
Position | Player | Goals |
7th | Thierry Henry | 175 |
8th | Robbie Fowler | 163 |
=9th | Mohamed Salah* | 162 |
=9th | Jermain Defoe | 162 |

Saints Next In Salah's Sights
Salah will be disappointed if he hasn't become Liverpool's all-time leading scorer in the Premier League by the time the Reds travel to Southampton after the third and final international break.
It won't have the same appeal if he climbs above Fowler on the south coast, but that's the way the fixtures fall.
Salah has seven goals against the Saints, but he has drawn blanks in each of his last five and he is 8/1 to become Liverpool's all-time goal king in the Premier League at St Mary's.
Could City Give Up Record-Breaking Goal?
By the time Liverpool take on Manchester City at Anfield on the first day of December, the title could be a two-horse race between the two sides.
Last season, City managed to prevent Salah from adding to his six Premier League goals against them, but will they be able to do so again this time around?
Salah is 20/1 to achieve the latest feat in his incredible Liverpool career, although the chances are he will already be the club's all-time leading scorer in the Premier League.
