Alan Shearer has stated ‘don’t be surprised’ if Mo Salah scored again for Liverpool against Manchester City in their Premier League title showdown at the Etihad on Sunday, as he told the Weekend Preview.

The Premier League’s all-time top scorer spoke about Salah’s ‘incredible’ solo goal against Manchester City during the reverse fixture and thinks history could repeat itself.

Salah is a man for big games, the big occasions and the big moments, as he proved when he danced past the Man City players back in October.

Liverpool fans will be hoping the 29-year-old does the business again in a few hours time, as the 2021/22 Premier League title showdown could take its biggest twist yet.

Ahead of all that drama unfolding, Shearer shared his thoughts on Salah and the magic at his feet.

“You want the biggest of players to perform at the biggest of games, and that was (2-2 reverse fixture),” said Shearer.

“For someone to show that brilliance and that skill. I mean that ability (to glid past players) is just incredible. The way he goes left and right.

“Don’t be surprised if he was to do something similar and find the back of the net on Sunday because the best players turn up in the biggest and best games.

“I know he hasn’t scored any of late. But I wouldn’t be surprised at all if he was on the scoresheet on Sunday.”

This Liverpool-Man City rivalry may not have the bite, hate or aggression that used to be displayed by Manchester United and Arsenal under Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger.

But, in terms of pure quality, they will feel they can dance with some of the best that English football has seen.

There will be more battles to come during the coming seasons, no doubt, but it wouldn’t be a surprise if these coming games – and this finale – will be the one that is looked upon the most in years to come.

Either way, two of English football’s best will battle it out and perhaps the best in the world today – Salah – will be hoping to showcase once more why his name shines brightest amongst them all.
