Liverpool vs Fulham: The perfect game for Mohamed Salah to rediscover form
Liverpool play rudderless Fulham on Sunday in the Premier League and this is the perfect game for Mohamed Salah to rediscover his form.
Salah hasn’t hit the back of the net for the past six games, a dry spell that Reds fans haven’t seen before and probably don’t know how to deal with.
But, Sadio Mane has been in such good form that the Egyptian King’s little barren run hasn’t really gone noticed. But Salah will have noticed, and you can bet he won’t be too happy with it.
The Premier League doesn’t serve up too many gifts, but Fulham have been as close to one as you can get this season. They spent loads of money in the summer in an attempt to survive the top flight, and it’s all gone tremendously wrong.

Their defence is just so bad that you would consider anything less than a two or three goal haul to be a bad day for the Reds.
With Aleksandar Mitrovic and Andre Schurrle in attack, Fulham could hurt teams going forward – but Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk should be able to deal with that threat.
If Salah plays on the right-hand side, as you’d expect but it may not happen, he’ll go up against a Premier League newcomer in Maxime Le Marchand or fresh youngster Ryan Sessegnon – who isn’t really a defender anymore.
Sessesgnon has had a bit of a baptism of fire this campaign and hasn’t found it plain sailing at all.
Le Marchand has probably had a worse time of it still, and will not be looking forward to taking on Salah at his pacey best.

With Manchester City on fire it’s important that the Reds keep up with them. Salah has got a big part to play in that, and on Sunday he can get the side and himself firing again.
