Mohamed Salah (LEI)

Salah has found the back of the net four times over the last six gameweeks, only Almiron and Rodrigo (five each) have been more prolific amongst midfielders. As the Stats Sandbox image below shows, no midfielder can better his total of 27 shots, 21 SiB, 14 SoT and eight 'big chances'. Liverpool have found the back of the net 10 times over the last six gameweeks and are top for shots (103), SoT (46) and 'big chances' (25). Their opponents Leicester have conceded four goals over the last six gameweeks and have kept four clean sheets. They have ridden their luck a fair bit though, only Everton (94), Bournemouth (100) and Brentford (105) have allowed opponents more shots over that period than the Foxes (92). Our Fix Algorithm currently projects a point score of 7.3 for Salah.

The London side have scored 11 goals over the last six gameweeks with only Arsenal, Brighton, Leeds (12 each) and Newcastle (15) being more prolific. Only Man. City (94), Man. Utd (96) and Liverpool (103) have taken more shots over that period. Their visitors Southampton have shipped 15 goals in eight away matches this season and have kept just one clean sheet on their travels. They are ranked 12th for shots conceded (105) and ninth for 'big chances' conceded (17). Our Fix Algorithm currently projects a point score of 5.4 for the Serbian international.
