Jurgen Klopp is celebrating eight years as manager of Liverpool on this historic day. Can he beat Brighton, who will pose a challenge?
Klopp was hired as Liverpool manager on this day eight years ago. In his 303 league games as manager, he has presided over 190 victories.
Under the German, Liverpool has scored 650 league goals, six short of the mark.
On his big day, he’ll also expect to see 11 players start and finish, as Liverpool has played with less than 11 players for about 25 percent of this league season.
Against Albion, he needs one goal to surpass Joey Barton as the Reds’ all-time leading scorer. He presently has six, matching Kenny Dalglish.
In addition, Salah will match the club’s appearance total against the Seagulls. Jordan Henderson would join him on 14.
The three league goals the Egyptian has scored this year have all come at Anfield. His most recent Premier League goals were scored at Leeds in the middle of April.
