What Mohamed Salah has said about Erling Haaland
Salah’s form has been mixed during 2025/26, but he’s still got five goals in all competitions.
That pales in comparison to Haaland, however, who is the Premier League’s leading goalscorer ahead of Man City hosting Liverpool.
Both players are expected to have an impact on the fixture, given how crucial they have been for their respective clubs in recent years.
Speaking back in February, as per Fabrizio Romano, Salah showed his respect for Haaland.
He said: “I respect Haaland a lot… he’s a striker, so his life is a bit easier.
“For a winger honestly to have such a record is quite difficult. Every winger can confirm that. So, I see it differently between us, because he’s a striker and I’m a winger.”
