Salah looking to beat Thierry Henry’s record.
Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah could beat Arsenal legend Thiery Henry’s Premier League record of scoring in six consecutive away matches.
The Egyptian has been on target for Liverpool in all their five away matches so far this season, becoming only the second player to achieve such feat behind the Frenchman during 2001/02.

Team News
Liverpool will be without six of their first-team players at the London Stadium.
A serious hamstring injury sustained during the midweek win over Atletico Madrid means Roberto Firmino joins Curtis Jones (eye), Joe Gomez (calf), Naby Keita and James Milner (both hamstring) on the sidelines, as well as long-term absentee Harvey Elliott (ankle).
David Moyes, in his pre-match address, said the club will continue to monitor the fitness of Andriy Yarmolenko and Nikola Vlašić ahead of the match.
The pair missed the UEFA Europa League clash at Genk with minor knocks, and their availability will be decided ahead of the match.
