With Mohamed Salah once again in unstoppable form, Liverpool crushed West Ham United 5-0 at the London Stadium on Sunday to increase their lead in the Premier League to eight points.
Despite the uncertainties around a new deal, the Egyptian has been having a fantastic season.
He has scored once and supplied two assists as Liverpool crushed their inferior hosts.
He has now scored 20 goals this season across all competitions, assisted in eight Premier League games, and seems to be leading Liverpool to their 20th league championship in manager Arne Slot’s first season.
With 18 games played, Liverpool has 45 points, while Nottingham Forest, the surprise package, is their nearest rival with 37 points after one more game.
Chelsea who are in fourth position will play struggling Ipswich Town on Sunday, they might close the margin to seven.
