Crystal Palace vs. Liverpool: Mohamed Salah's record against the Eagles

Ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash between Crystal Palace and Liverpool, Sports Mole looks at Mohamed Salah's record against the Eagles.

Liverpool have the opportunity to move four points clear at the top of the Premier League table when they do battle with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday lunchtime.

Arne Slot's side leapfrogged Manchester City into first place by beating Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 last weekend, before seeing off Bologna 2-0 in Wednesday's Champions League affair.

The red-hot Mohamed Salah found the back of the net in both matches, becoming the first Reds man to score in five straight Champions League home games in the Bologna victory, and he is fond of a goal against the Eagles as well.

Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at Salah's record against Crystal Palace ahead of Saturday's Premier League contest.

Mohamed Salah's record vs. Crystal Palace

Played: 14
Won: 10
Drawn: 2
Lost: 2
Goals: 8
Assists: 5

First clashing with Palace during his days in a Chelsea kit, Salah has now faced the Eagles on 14 occasions, and he averages a direct goal involvement in almost every game against them.

Indeed, the Egyptian has contributed to 13 efforts in 14 matches against Palace - eight of his own and five assists - while he has won 10, drawn two and lost two of those 14 battles.

Only against Brighton & Hove Albion (seven), Manchester United, Manchester City and Newcastle (six each) has Salah set up more goals than he has against Palace, although he drew a rare blank against the Eagles in a shock 1-0 home loss in April 2024.

However, Salah inspired a Liverpool turnaround at Selhurst Park earlier in the 2023-24 campaign, cancelling out Jean-Philippe Mateta's penalty before setting up Harvey Elliott for a dramatic injury-time winner.

Salah was not able to work his magic in either draw with Palace in the 2022-23 season, but from March 2018 to September 2021, the 32-year-old either scored or assisted in seven straight games against the Eagles.

During Liverpool's 7-0 obliteration of Palace at Selhurst Park in December 2020, Salah scored twice and also helped himself to an assist, an astounding feat considering he was only brought off the bench for the final 33 minutes.

The attacker netted another brace against the Eagles in a thrilling 4-3 victory at Anfield in January 2019, although he could not directly contribute to a goal versus Palace in either of his games for Chelsea, losing 1-0 in 2014 during his first appearance against them.

Ten years later, Salah is now the second-highest documented scorer in competitive matches between Liverpool and Crystal Palace, only trailing former teammate Sadio Mane, who bagged 10 goals against the London outfit.
