Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah is in line to close in on an incredible Premier League record if he scores or assists against Manchester United.

Salah is expected to make part of Liverpool's starting XI when the Reds host rivals United at Anfield on Sunday, December 17.

The hosts will be aiming for maximum points during the tie as they bid to cement their lead at the top of the standings.

However, they will be wary of the visitors, who are in dire need of a positive result following their elimination from the Champions League in the group stages earlier last week.
