Mohamed Salah needs one more goal involvement to equal the all-time record for a single Premier League campaign.

Salah – who has already broken the record for a 38-game season – has produced 28 goals and 18 assists in the 2024-25 top flight thus far.

The Egyptian's next goal involvement will see him level the competition's overall best of 47 by Andrew Cole in 1993-94 and Alan Shearer in 1994-95 across 42 matches.

Two goals from Salah will see him move into joint-fourth on the Premier League's all-time scorers list, alongside Cole, with 187.

The No.11 is two assists away from equalling the competition's record for most assists in a season. Thierry Henry (2002-03) and Kevin De Bruyne (2019-20) both tallied 20.

Salah has 27 goal involvements in 17 away outings in the Premier League this term (16 goals, 11 assists), which is already the most of any player on the road in a season.

Andy Robertson could make his 250th top-flight appearance for the Reds.

Liverpool's next goal scored before half-time will be their 50th of the season in the first half of matches.

After the 2-1 win in October, Liverpool are looking to complete their first league double over Chelsea since their last title-winning campaign of 2019-20.

Arne Slot could become only the third Reds boss to win both of his first two league games against the Blues, after Bill Shankly and Roy Evans.

The champions have netted in each of their last 30 Premier League matches since the 1-0 defeat by Nottingham Forest in September. The only team to have a longer scoring run within a single campaign was Arsenal in 2001-02 by scoring in all 38 fixtures.

Liverpool have not lost any of their last 20 league clashes in the month of May (16 wins, four draws), though their last such defeat was at Stamford Bridge in 2018.

Luis Diaz has scored in each of his two Premier League starts against Chelsea, netting home and away last term.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has seven goal involvements in his last 10 Premier League away appearances (three goals, four assists).

Chelsea have picked up 17 points in their last eight league outings (five wins, two draws, one loss), having collected just nine points from their previous 10.

This will be the Blues' seventh Premier League game against a side already crowned champions – the most of any club. They have only won one of the previous six, beating Manchester United 1-0 in 2012-13, while one of their defeats was a 5-3 reverse against Liverpool in July 2020.

Chelsea are winless in their last 10 meetings with the Reds in all competitions (seven draws, three losses).
