Liverpool Football Club are in desperate need of a goal barrage this weekend when they take on Leeds United in Premier League action.
Over the years, this fixture has been kind to the Reds on that front as they have a +74 goal difference against Saturday's opponents in the history of this fixture across all competitions.
With that backdrop, what better thing to do than reminisce about the highest scoring Liverpool players in this matchup over the years? Let's jump right into it!
T-4th Most: Stan Collymore & Neil Ruddock - 3 goals apiece
Collymore in particular was ruthless in this fixture as he scored his three goals while bagging two additional assists in only three matches versus Leeds.
Having only played in 186 minutes across those matches, the former England forward averaged a goal contribution every 37 minutes for Liverpool when facing Leeds United. Collymore secured a brace in a comfortable 4-0 for LFC in February 1997.
Ruddock's return of three goals from six matches is more than impressive for a defender when you really think about it.
For his part, Ruddock also has a brace to his name in this matchup when he scored twice in our 5-0 thrashing in January of 1996.
T-3rd Most - Sadio Mane, Michael Owen, Danny Murphy - 4 goals apiece
We now get into some more modern names as well here as Sadio was scoring goals in Red just a few seasons ago, as hard as that is to believe.
The Senegalese star scored twice at Anfield and twice at Elland Road during his time with Liverpool. His Feb. 23, 2022 brace at Anfield was part of a 6-0 romp for Jurgen Klopp's men at the time.
Owen spread his goal return across four different matches facing Leeds as the striker netted for the Reds in late '97, early 2002 and twice in the spring of 2003. All four matches were Liverpool wins with three of them coming as 3-1 scorelines.
Danny Murphy is most well known for his scintillating screamer in a March 2003 win, where he struck it from the corner of the box after gathering the ball in and thrashing it to the far post.
2nd Most - Robbie Fowler - 7 goals
Fowler being at, or near the top of, any all-time Liverpool scoring list should not come as a surprise to anyone. He was one of the most natural finishers in the history of this great club.
He scored seven times in this fixture over the years as he scored two goals in a match twice against Leeds where he was especially sharp during a short run from 1996-98 in this historic fixture. His final goal for Liverpool in this matchup came in November of 1998 when he scored a penalty in a tough 3-1 defeat for the Reds.
Every other time Fowler scored, it was Liverpool that came out the victors, so his goals, per usual, came with great meaning to the club.
Only 2 of his 7 goal haul came from the penalty spot for anybody wondering how hard he had to work to get these results.
Most - Mohamed Salah - 9 goals
The Egyptian king has a stunning 9 goals in only 6 Premier League meetings for Liverpool against Leeds United as he has tore Leeds apart during his time at Anfield.
It began with a hat-trick opening day of the 2020 league season in a match that was won by Klopp's men 4-3, as Salah netted the winning goal form the penalty spot to complete his hattrick.
Salah is atop so many different scoring charts at Liverpool, but this might be one of his most impressive returns against any English opposition. He has only failed to score in one of the six matches he has played in this series, with three of those times seeing him net more than once.
As he is a player that is short on confidence so far this season, going against a club you have tormented your whole career could be just what the doctor ordered.
Salah's 9 goals in this fixture might be hard to catch for anyone, and it could get more difficult if he scores once more on Saturday.
