The first round of the English Premier League will witness the first Egyptian match between Liverpool, led by the team’s Egyptian star Mohamed Salah, and its host Ipswich Town, which has returned to the English Premier League, and whose captain is Egyptian midfielder Sam Morsy.
The Reds are looking forward to making a strong start in the competition for the top spot and trying to regain the league title. Mohamed Salah will be on a date with a new record in the English Premier League if he is able to score in the match that will be held at Portman Road Stadium the day after tomorrow, Saturday.
Egyptian star Sam Morsy was part of the Egyptian national team that participated in the 2018 World Cup in Russia, but he has been away from the team in recent years, despite the distinguished performance he gave with Ipswich, especially last season, when the team was playing in the first division “Championship”.
Mohamed Salah has scored eight goals in Liverpool’s opening Premier League games over the past seven seasons, making him the player with the most goals in the competition’s opening games, level with the retired trio of Alan Shearer, Frank Lampard and Wayne Rooney, who scored the same number of goals for their clubs in the first round of the season.
If Mohamed Salah, who is preparing for his eighth season with Liverpool, scores against Ipswich Town, he will break the record for the most goals scored in the opening rounds of the competition. The Ipswich match will be the first official match for Arne Slot, the former Feyenoord Rotterdam coach who has become Liverpool’s manager, and who dreams of equaling Manchester United’s record as the club with the most English Premier League titles, having previously won the title 20 times, the last of which was in the 2019-20 season.
