Liverpool forward Sadio Mane has a chance to equal to Teddy Sheringham’s Premier League feat if he plays in Friday’s opening fixture against Norwich City.
He remains a doubt for the first game of the season at Anfield, having missed the club's pre-season training programme due to his international commitment at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon).
Should Mane get some playing minutes against the Canaries and score, he would become the first player since 1995 to score a goal in match week 1 of four consecutive campaigns.
Sheringham set the record when he scored in the inaugural 1992-93 campaign through to 1995-96.
