Mohamed Salah is one of the Premier League’s best finishers and has a good goalscoring record against almost all the clubs he has faced in the English top flight.

The Tractor Boys secured promotion to the Premier League for the first time in 22 years and the Egyptian had not faced them before. They open their season against Liverpool today, and if Salah is in his opening-day goalscoring element, he will net. According to liverpool.com, he'd have scored nine opening-day goals, an outright record.

2. Swansea

He has faced Swansea four times, two each with Chelsea and Liverpool, but failed to score, even though his times with the Blues were cameos. He bagged two assists in Red. He may have to wait a little longer to score against the Swans, or never at all, amidst rumours that he could leave Liverpool at the end of the season.

3. Sunderland

The former Basel forward has faced the Cats once while at Stamford Bridge but failed to net. He featured for 66 minutes in the disappointing 2-1 loss in 2014. Sunderland nearly got promoted to the top flight last season.

5. Liverpool

During his time at Chelsea, he faced the Reds but failed to score. He played 60 minutes in the match that ruined Liverpool's title hopes in 2014 when Steven Gerrard slipped. He helped the club win their first-ever Premier League title in 2020.
