Mohamed Salah to score or assist

Mohamed Salah has been directly involved in 45 goals in the Premier League this season, the most of any player in a 38-game season

Leicester City could find themselves relegated from the Premier League this weekend, even if they find a way to secure all three points at home against the Champions-elect Liverpool.

Leicester preview: Picked up a point at the AmEx

Leicester City put in a spirited performance away against Brighton last weekend, but has it come too late in the day for the Foxes?

Issahaku Fatawu has been ruled out of the Liverpool game through injury but Facundo Buonanette, Wout Faes, Jeremy Monga and Victor Kristiansen could all return to the squad this weekend.

Liverpool preview: Left it late against the Hammers

Liverpool took the lead at home against West Ham in the 18th minute through Luis Diaz but a late equaliser looked like it was going to ruin the day.

Substitute Andrew Robertson put through his own goal in the 86th minute but the captain Virgil van Dijk spared his teammates' blushes by scoring three minutes later and taking Liverpool another step closer to the Premier League title. Since his Premier League debut in September 2015, Van Dijk has scored more goals than any other central defender (24).

Joe Gomez and Trent Alexander-Arnold look set to miss the trip to the Midlands on Sunday through injury.

Predicted lineup: Alisson (GK), van Dijk, Tsimikas, Konate, Bradley, Jones, Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Salah, Jota & Díaz
