Crystal Palace vs. Liverpool: Mohamed Salah's record against the Eagles before Premier League clash

Mohamed Salah's record vs. Crystal Palace

Played: 17

Won: 11

Drawn: 3

Lost: 3

Goals: 9

Assists: 5

During his largely forgettable period as a Chelsea player, Mohamed Salah faced Crystal Palace once in the 2013-14 season and once in 2014-15, but he failed to net a goal or assist in either game.

The 2013-14 fixture saw Salah play 34 minutes in a 1-0 defeat at Selhurst Park, but the Egypt international has since been on the winning side 12 times against the Eagles.

In that time, Salah has amassed a staggering nine goals and five assists in 16 matches versus Crystal Palace since his first strike against them - an 84th-minute winner at Selhurst Park in March 2018.

During the 2018-19 season, Salah won a penalty for James Milner to convert before setting up Sadio Mane in a 2-0 win away from home and bagging a brace in a 4-3 Anfield success later that year.

The former Chelsea man was an unused substitute in a 2-1 win at Selhurst Park in November 2019, but he returned with a goal and assist in a 4-0 Anfield success later in that triumphant season for the Reds.

Then came the 7-0 romping at Selhurst Park, which Salah contributed two goals and one assist to, and the attacker then claimed another assist for Mane against Palace on the final day of the 2020-21 season, which ended in a 2-0 win.

In 2021-22, Salah scored one and set up another to help Klopp's side win 3-0 at Anfield, but he missed the subsequent 3-1 success at Selhurst Park while competing in the Africa Cup of Nations.

However, the contributions have now dried up for the ex-Chelsea and Roma man against the Eagles, as he has drawn blanks in five of his last seven Premier League appearances vs. Palace.

Salah's only involvements in this underwhelming period were crucial ones, though, as he scored one and set up a last-gasp Harvey Elliott winner in a 2-1 success at Selhurst Park in 2023, before netting the equaliser in a 1-1 draw on the last day of the 2024-25 Premier League season.
