Egyptian Salah has been at Liverpool for two years, after a stint at Roma and before that a two year run at Chelsea.
Salah has made quite the impact at Liverpool, being awarded the PFAs Player of the Year award in 2018, becoming the Premier League’s all-time goalscorer in 2018 and receiving the 2018 FIFA Puskás Award for the goal of the year for his winning strike at Anfield in his first Merseyside derby.
The 26-year-old is now considered one of the best players in the world and will be one to watch in tonight’s game.

Salah married Magi Salah three years ago, and the pair have kept their private life private.
As such, not much is known about the couple, except that they met at school in the Egyptian village of Basion Gharbia.
They wed on December 17, 2013, in Nagrig, Egypt with reports stating thousands attended the wedding.
Salah returns to his home village every Ramadan to share his wealth with the residents.
When people in Nagrig get married, the Liverpool star buys them practical gifts help them start married life.
According to Magi’s private Instagram profile, she works as a biotechnologist.
She is often seen in the stands supporting her husband since his move to Anfield.
The couple has one daughter, Makka who was born in 2014 when Salah was playing for Chelsea.
Makka is named after Islam’s holy city, Mecca but the spelling differs.
Despite the couple’s privacy, Salah often shares pictures of his five-year-old daughter to his Instagram page.
The most recent photo came from after Liverpool’s 4-0 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion, which saw Makka run on to the pitch.
She wore a Liverpool shirt with her dad’s name and number on the back and dribbled a football during the celebrations after the match.
The crowd were ecstatic, cheering on Makka as she made her way across the pitch with the ball.
It is not known if Magi and Makka will be pitchside tonight to watch Salah take on Tottenham.
