As Brighton were competing in the lower echelons of the English Football League during Salah's time at Chelsea, the Egyptian has made all 17 of his appearances against the Seagulls for Liverpool and has developed quite the knack for scoring or assisting in this battle.
Indeed, Salah's 17 appearances have coincidentally brought about an identical number of goal contributions - 10 of his own and seven assists - while he has won 10, drawn four and lost three of his meetings with Brighton in all competitions.
Salah returned to English shores in 2017, the same summer that Brighton were gearing up for their first season of Premier League football, and the winger set up a Roberto Firmino effort in his first appearance against them before scoring and assisting in a 4-0 win on the last day of the 2017-18 campaign.
That would prove to be the start of a stellar Salah run against Brighton, as he has produced at least one goal or one assist against the Seagulls in every Premier League season from 2017-18, scoring three times in two appearances in the 2023-24 campaign.
In the 10th gameweek of the 2024-25 season, a trademark Salah special completed the Reds' comeback in a 2-1 home success over the Seagulls, as he cut inside from the right and found the top corner with aplomb.
The Egyptian's best individual display against Brighton to date came towards the end of the COVID-affected 2019-20 season, where he scored a brace and set up Jordan Henderson in a 3-1 win after Jurgen Klopp's side had already been crowned champions.
Salah has only ever failed to score or assist in two of his 15 Premier League games against Brighton, and the Reds suffered defeat on both occasions, a 1-0 loss at Anfield in 2020-21 before a 3-0 beatdown at the Amex in the 2022-23 campaign.
Salah's third defeat versus the Seagulls came in the FA Cup third round in the latter season, although he did provide the assist for Harvey Elliott before the then-holders fell to a 2-1 defeat.
In terms of playmaking, Brighton are the Liverpool's winger's favourite opponent, as his tally of seven assists is his most against a single team - Manchester United, Manchester City and Newcastle United are next on his list with six each.
