Liverpool repeats their status as title favorites with an extensive 2-0 win over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
Mohamed Salah continued his extraordinary 2024/25 form on Sunday with a goal and an assist in the 2-0 victory of Liverpool over Manchester City.
City is the team that has defeated Pep Guardiola in the Premier League for a large part of the time of Pep Guardiola in England. But this Liverpool side inspired by Salah seems to have built an indisputable lead at the top of the competition and is planning to write history.
Salah took his league rank for the season to 25 goals and 16 assists, a record that is among the best individual seasons in the Premier League. With 11 games left, Salah will break the PL-assistent record of one season, which has been on 20 since the 2002/03 season.
Who has the Premier League Assist Record?
The assistant record has adopted near-mythical status in recent years, which has been for 22 years. In the 2002/03 season, Thierry Henry set the record with 20 assists, a mark that Kevin De Bruyne was the same in 2019/10.
KDB was not the only player who came close to beating the record. Arsenal -midfielder Mesut Ozil started the 2015/16 with an incredible production series, with 16 assists in the first half of the season. But the output dried up and he only succeeded in three in the second half of the season and was just a shortage of the 'unbeatable' 20.
Even this season Bukayo Saka reached ten assists against MatchDay 13 and looked at it to challenge the record. He sustained a serious hamstring injury in December and probably doesn't seem to return this season.
Salah looks like a good gamble to finally break 20 assists and beat Henry from the top position. He has already established the Liverpool record for most assists in a Premier League season and becomes the first player in the competition history who registered at least 40 targets in two different seasons. Nevertheless, it is the promise of team titles that keep the Egyptian motivated.
“I wouldn't say it's close. It is just like, we certainly need a different title, “Salah said after the city's victory. “Me and the big boys here in the team, we need another title. But yes, we will give it our best and we will give it a good chance. “
