Mohamed Salah has finally ended months of speculation surrounding his future by agreeing a new contract with the English club.
The Egyptian star has been excellent for the Merseyside titans over the years, helping them win many major trophies.
An now he is set to lift another Premier League trophy with Liverpool, despite his team suffering a shock 3-2 defeat at Fulham last week.
The Reds took the lead but Marco Silva’s men turned the game on its head after three of their players scored in the first-half. Luis Diaz pulled one back after 72 minutes, but that only served as a consolation goal.
However, despite the result, Liverpool still have an 11-point advantage over second-placed Arsenal, who were held to a 1-1 draw by their bitter rivals Everton last weekend.
On the other hand, West Ham will enter Sunday’s game on the back of a 2-2 draw with Bournemouth.

Arne Slot has confirmed that Alisson Becker will be fit to start on Sunday after remaining sidelined with a head injury. But the Dutch boss will not be able to call upon the services of Tyler Morton, Joe Gomez and Trent Alexander-Arnold as the trio are still on the treatment table.
