Liverpool fans have warned their upcoming opponent, Manchester City, about the return of their star player Mohamed Salah to his usual form after he scored a "super hat-trick" with the Egyptian national team in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Salah has become the all-time top scorer for his country in World Cup qualifying matches after netting four goals against Djibouti in the opening round of the qualifiers on Thursday.
One fan on the platform "X," formerly known as Twitter, expressed hope that Salah could replicate the same performance against Manchester City. Another responded, "Salah just scored 4 goals in 70 minutes... he looks frightening ahead of the City clash." A third jokingly suggested, "They should substitute Mohamed Salah now; we need this energy against City." Another added, "Mohamed Salah... enough, save the rest for Manchester City."
Salah celebrated with Egyptian fans after the match, holding the super hat-trick ball. Liverpool will face City in a top-of-the-table clash when the English Premier League resumes next weekend, with Manchester City currently leading the table with 28 points, just one point ahead of the Reds. Klopp's team has not lost since September when they were defeated by Tottenham Hotspur under controversial circumstances, although they dropped points against Brighton and Luton Town since that match. Salah has scored 10 goals in the domestic competition so far this season.
