Mohamed Salah

The Egyptian king was back at his goalscoring best last time out and continues to hunt down his third consecutive golden boot.

Jamie Vardy is still three goals ahead of Salah, but you wouldn’t bet against the former Roma man to top the scoring charts once again.

Sadio Mane

Mane has sixteen himself this season and with a small miracle he could still be involved in the Golden Boot race – hence his frustration at Salah’s lack of pass at the Amex.

He’s scored four against Burnley in his last three, including a brace at Anfield last season in a 4-2 win.

Roberto Firmino

Firmino is another who’s showcased his sheer importance to the side in this period, despite him not troubling the scoresheet.

His ‘defensive striker’ notion is one mocked by opposition fans who have no clue of his importance to this football club and this system. Once he gets one, he will get a few.
