Liverpool attacker Mohamed Salah will be out to match a Premier League feat set by Thierry Henry when the Reds take on Southampton at Anfield on Saturday.

The 30-year-old had experienced a relatively slow goalscoring start to the season by his high standards, but he has amassed an impressive 14 strikes and five assists from 20 games in all tournaments.

Salah's contributions include six goals in 13 Premier League games, including one in the recent defeat to Leeds United before he scored a brace in last weekend's win over Tottenham Hotspur.

The former Chelsea and Roma man is set to make his 100th Premier League appearance for Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday, and he has already come up with 99 goal contributions from an identical number of games.

Salah has scored 70 and set up 29 more for the Reds at Anfield in the Premier League and could now become only the second player in the competition's history to rack up a century from his first 100 home matches.

Former Arsenal talisman Henry is the only player to have done so previously, scoring 85 goals and providing 28 assists in his first 100 league games for Arsenal at Highbury.

Salah now sits on 170 goals and 68 assists from 274 appearances for Liverpool since making the move from Roma in 2017, and he is not the only Liverpool player out for a slice of personal history.

Veteran midfielder James Milner - who has missed Liverpool's last two games due to concussion protocol - is expected to recover in time to be named in the squad for Saturday's game.

Should the 36-year-old make an appearance against Southampton, it will mark his 600th Premier League game, 20 years after making his debut as a 16-year-old for Leeds United.

Milner could become just the fourth man to make at least 600 appearances in the competition, following in the footsteps of Gareth Barry (653), Ryan Giggs (632) and Frank Lampard (609).

Liverpool enter Saturday's game having defeated Derby County on penalties in the third round of the EFL Cup on Wednesday, and they sit eighth in the table with 19 points from their opening 13 games.

However, Liverpool's on-field activities have been overshadowed by the news that the club's owners, Fenway Sports Group, have supposedly put the Reds up for sale.

John W Henry has confirmed that he is on the lookout for new investors, but Jurgen Klopp - who extended his contract until 2026 earlier this year - remains committed to the club.

"What I read [is] they are looking for investment. Good idea, I like that. For me, it means nothing, whatever happens, if it does change, I am committed to the club," Klopp told the press after Wednesday's EFL Cup win.

Meanwhile, Southampton manager Nathan Jones will be taking charge of his first game for the club at Anfield, having been announced as Ralph Hasenhuttl's successor on a three-and-a-half year deal on Thursday.
