Pre-match statsMohamed Salah one goal away from joining LFC's 150 club

The Egyptian’s 149th strike since he joined the Reds in 2017 came at Internazionale on Wednesday night on his 232nd appearance.

In Saturday’s Premier League clash with Norwich City, Salah will aim to emulate an elite group who have scored 150 for LFC: Ian Rush, Roger Hunt, Gordon Hodgson, Billy Liddell, Steven Gerrard, Robbie Fowler, Kenny Dalglish, Michael Owen and Harry Chambers.

Hunt is the fastest player ever to reach a century-and-a-half, doing so in 226 games.

Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 15 clashes with the Canaries, winning all but two and scoring 47 times.

They have already beaten Norwich twice this season, both by a 3-0 scoreline at Carrow Road, on the opening day of the league campaign in August and then in the League Cup the following month.

Jürgen Klopp’s side need three goals to reach 100 for the season. If they score them on Saturday they will do so in the joint-second-fewest number of games – 39, the same as 2013-14. The quickest was in 30 fixtures in 1895-96.

The Reds will aim to keep a fourth successive clean sheet in all competitions in the same campaign for the first time since February 2020.

Roberto Firmino has scored 13 of his last 14 goals in all competitions for Liverpool away from Anfield.

The No.9 has netted five times as a substitute so far this term; the club record is seven, set by Djibril Cisse (2005-06) and Ryan Babel (2007-08).

The Reds are 14 points better off than at the same stage (24 games) of last season.

Dean Smith has guided Norwich to 12 points from 13 Premier League matches since taking charge, after they had previously picked up just five.
