Mohamed Salah showcased an outstanding performance in Egypt’s opening match of the World Cup 2026 qualifiers in the African region, leaving Liverpool fans eagerly anticipating the upcoming clаsh against Manchester City in the Premier League.

Facing Djibouti, a team currently ranked 189th in the world, Egypt secured an emphatic 6-0 victory, with Salah personally netting four goals. Mostafa Mohamed and Trezeguet contributed the remaining two goals.

Witnessing Salah’s brilliant form, many Liverpool fans believe that Manchester City should be concerned. Liverpool is set to visit Manchester City on November 25th at 7:30 PM (Vietnam time) in the 13th round of the Premier League, following the conclusion of the FIFA international break.

Salah’s brilliance in Egypt’s first victory in the World Cup qualifiers highlights his impact. On November 19th, Egypt will face Sierra Leone in their second match of the African region qualifiers. There is a high possibility that Salah and his teammates will secure another victory against this weaker opponent.

Turning to the upcoming showdown between Manchester City and Liverpool, Salah has a remarkable record against Man City. According to statistics, the 31-year-old forward has scored 11 goals in 19 encounters with the Sky Blues across all competitions while wearing the Liverpool jersey. Additionally, he has provided five assists.

In the previous Premier League season, Salah found the net in both matches against Manchester City, with Liverpool securing one victory and suffering one defeat. The defeat occurred during Liverpool’s away match at Etihad in April this year, where Salah scored the opening goal but witnessed his team’s heavy defeat.
