Liverpool’s in-form Salah poses ‘threat’ to Chelsea
Moyes hopes for morale-boosting win
LONDON, Nov 23, (RTRS): Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah could be excused for celebrating a little more loudly than normal if he scores against Chelsea in the standout clash in the Premier League this weekend.
The Egypt striker endured a miserable time at Stamford Bridge after joining Chelsea from FC Basel in 2014 — making only a handful of appearances and scoring twice before being shipped out on loan to Fiorentina.
Via a move to AS Roma, where he became a crowd favourite, Salah joined Liverpool in the close season and has not looked back.
The 25-year-old livewire, signed for 34 million pounds ($45.15 million), has scored 14 goals in all competitions so far this season and will relish the chance to show Chelsea fans what he can do when the champions visit Anfield on Saturday.
Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp has a fearsome frontline, including fitagain Sadio Mane who scored in the topsy-turvy 3-3 draw at Sevilla in the Champions League on Tuesday when the Merseysiders surrendered a threegoal lead. But Salah’s contribution from a wide position has been particu-
larly spectacular — not that Klopp ever doubted it. West Ham United’s new manager David Moyes will hope for a morale-boosting win at home to Leicester City. The last time the third-bottom Hammers played on a Friday they were hammered by Brighton — a result that hastened the exit of Slaven Bilic.
