Salah Poised to Break Liverpool Assist Record

Mohamed Salah is on the verge of breaking a major Liverpool record, needing just one more assist to surpass Steven Gerrard and become the club's leading Premier League creator.

The Egyptian forward sits level with Gerrard on 92 Premier League assists and could make history when Liverpool travels to Nottingham Forest. Salah's creative numbers highlight how his game has evolved under Arne Slot, with Liverpool continuing to rely on his sharp decision-making in the final third.

Despite Liverpool's strong form - having lost only one of their last seven away league matches - Salah has not scored or assisted in his two previous appearances at the City Ground, adding extra motivation to this fixture. Set pieces could again be crucial, as five of Liverpool's eight Premier League goals against Forest since 2022 have come from dead ball situations.
