Mohamed Salah's outburst against Liverpool has consumed Premier League audiences after a dramatic draw at Leeds, with one former Red reminding the Egyptian of his rank

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has confirmed Mohamed Salah will depart for Afcon on 15 December, which means his last game before leaving for international duty is expected to be on 13 December against Brighton.

Arne Slot acknowledged Liverpool "can only look at ourselves" after conceding a last-gasp equaliser against Leeds United

Former Liverpool winger Jermaine Pennant has raised fresh concerns that a key player for the Reds is being overused, suggesting he has too many minutes with his lack of form

Leeds come into this one without Daniel James and Sean Longstaff, and two of their forwards, Lukas Nmecha and Dominic Calvert-Lewin, are doubts and will face late fitness tests. Should Calvert-Lewin be fit, he will seek to score in three consecutive games for the first time since 2021.

Mohamed Salah was left on the bench, his third successive game out of the starting XI, in a further sign that head coach Arne Slot has lost faith in the attacker. The 33-year-old had started every Premier League game under Slot until last week’s meeting with West Ham but with Liverpool’s form suffering, Salah has been demoted.

Liverpool have struggled lately, winning just once in their last five Premier League outings. Adding to this, Mohamed Salah's recent comments on his situation are speeding up the club's plans. The Reds are reportedly eyeing a young rising star as a possible replacement for the Egyptian star.
