Liverpool attacker Mohamed Salah will be aiming to match a 57-year-old club goalscoring feat when the Reds travel to Leicester City for Monday's Premier League showdown.
Despite a tumultuous campaign for Jurgen Klopp's side, Salah has enjoyed another memorable individual season with 30 goals and 11 assists from 48 outings in all tournaments.
Salah has 19 goals and seven assists to show from 35 appearances in the Premier League so far this season, netting his most recent strike in last weekend's 1-0 triumph over Brentford.
Since the Egypt international made the move to Anfield from Roma in 2017, he has never scored fewer than 19 goals in a single Premier League season, ending on that number in their triumphant 2019-20 campaign.
Prior to that COVID-disrupted year, Salah struck 32 goals in just 36 games during the 2017-18 campaign - a single-season record which has since been broken by Erling Braut Haaland - before firing home 22 goals in 2018-19.
The 2020-21 season also saw Salah post 22 top-flight goals, before another 23-goal haul in the 2021-22 campaign as Liverpool just missed out on title glory to Manchester City.
Should the 30-year-old make the net ripple at the King Power Stadium, he would have scored 20 top-flight goals in five of his six seasons as a Liverpool player, including each of his last three.
The last Reds player to hit 20 league goals three seasons in a row was Roger Hunt, who impressively achieved that tally five years running between 1961-62 and 1965-66.
Hunt, a two-time top-flight winner with Liverpool and part of England's 1966 World Cup winning squad, firstly netted 41 times in the 1961-62 second division to propel Liverpool back into the top tier.
The striker subsequently scored 24, 31, 25 and 29 goals in each of his next four seasons, before his streak was snapped with a 14-goal haul in the 1966-67 campaign.
Salah's close-range winner against Bournemouth last week represented his 100th Anfield goal in all competitions, while he also became the first Reds player in history to score in nine successive home matches.
The former Chelsea man sits joint-fifth with Steven Gerrard in Liverpool's all-time scoring charts with 186 efforts to his name, and Klopp believes that he will be lauded as an "all-time great" when he calls time on his Anfield career.
When asked if his achievements have been overlooked this season, Klopp responded: "No, not from us, not from the Liverpool supporters, maybe from you. I don't know. This question is now not the first time I hear it.
"Not from us – I said it a lot of times, he will be an all-time great after he finishes his career, but now he is still in his career and if you see Mo every day there is still a really good few years in his legs and in his body so the numbers will even improve and that's absolutely great."
Liverpool enter Monday's game entrenched in fifth place in the Premier League table, but Manchester United extended their lead in the final Champions League spot to four points on Saturday by beating Wolverhampton Wanderers.
