StatsRevealed: The Premier League record Mohamed Salah can claim at Ipswich
Mohamed Salah has the chance to claim the outright record for goals scored on the opening weekend of a Premier League season.
The Egyptian, who is in line to make his 350th appearance for Liverpool at Ipswich Town on Saturday, has netted eight times in matchweek one since his arrival in the summer of 2017.
His current tally is the joint-most in the competition, alongside Alan Shearer, Wayne Rooney and Frank Lampard.
Salah has been on the scoresheet in six of his seven campaign openers with the Reds, only missing out in the draw at Chelsea 12 months ago.
