Mohamed Salah out for Ian Rush's Manchester City record

Mohamed Salah is set to equal a record set by Ian Rush in 1994 when Liverpool take on Manchester City in Sunday's Premier League encounter.

Salah has scored in each of the Reds’ last three meetings with Pep Guardiola's men, including in the Champions League quarter-final fixtures - on their way to the final of the elite European competition last season.

And their first 2018-19 meeting presents him a chance to once again emulate Rush who laid the marker as the first and only Liverpool player to score against the Citizens in four consecutive matches; a feat set from 1992 to 1994.
