Salah, who supplied the corner that led to Virgil van Dijk’s goal at Sunderland, sits level with Steven Gerrard on 92 league assists. One more assist would make him Liverpool’s leading Premier League creator and move him into seventh on the competition’s all‑time list.
The City Ground has been a tough venue for the Reds; they have won only once in their last 15 away league games against Forest, a 1‑0 victory in March 2024. Salah’s impact has been limited there, with no goal or assist in two appearances.
