Liverpool have a chance to get their title bid back on track on Sunday as they welcome West Ham United<\/a> to Anfield. Arne Slot’s side suffered a rare defeat<\/a> at Fulham<\/a> last time out, but remain well-placed to end the season as champions.<\/p>\n The match will be the Reds’ first since top scorer Mohamed Salah<\/a> committed his future to the club, just a couple of months before his contract was due to expire. The next target for the club is convincing Virgil van Dijk to also put pen to paper on an extension.<\/p>\n Liverpool<\/a> beat West Ham<\/a> 5-0 back in December in what was the Hammers’ final home game under Julen Lopetegui<\/a>. The London side have been a little less leaky at the back under current manager Graham Potter, but haven’t won away at Anfield since August 2015.<\/p>\n Unsurprisingly, Salah’s decision<\/a> has taken plenty of headlines over the last couple of days. We’ve also seen some earlier comments about the Egyptian resurface.<\/p>\n We’ve also got the small matter of what Salah will be able to contribute in a Liverpool shirt now he’s confirmed as one of their players for the foreseeable future. Here are Mirror Football’s latest lines from around Anfield.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Arne Slot opens door to next exciting new Liverpool contract after Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk<\/a>READ MORE: Arne Slot insists ‘physical freak’ Mo Salah will maintain level to end of new Liverpool deal<\/a>Shearer’s Salah target<\/p>\n Alan Shearer can see Mohamed Salah threatening his Premier League all-time scoring record<\/a>. The England international retired in 2006 after scoring 260 times in the competition, and Salah is just 76 behind.<\/p>\n “I don’t suspect that my Premier League<\/a> goalscoring record is on Mo Salah<\/a>\u2019s mind, but the record is going to go one day,” Shearer told Betfair<\/a>. “Whoever it goes to, whether it’s Harry Kane<\/a>, Mo Salah or Erling Haaland<\/a>, I guess there’s so many ifs and buts. It will go one day and it might be Salah who does it, yeah.”<\/p>\n Shearer also suggested Salah and team-mate Van Dijk will have little trouble contributing next term despite their age, adding: “They’re both incredibly fit and have proven that this season, so they’ll go again. Salah will get his usual shed-load of goals and Van Dijk will be as solid as ever.”<\/p>\n Neville left with egg on face<\/p>\n Former Manchester United<\/a> captain Gary Neville<\/a> has seen some of his old Mohamed Salah comments resurface. Back in 2019, Neville suggested Salah had less than 12 months left at Anfield<\/a>, only to be proven wrong and then some.<\/p>\n “Salah’s going to leave in the next 12 months, I can see it already,” the former England defender said. “Salah will leave, he will, I can absolutely guarantee it. I can see it, you can feel it, you can smell it, you know it.”<\/p>\n Neville also tipped United to win another league title before Liverpool. That was proved wrong within a few months, with Salah firing his team to league glory in the 2019-20 season.<\/p>\n Reds’ Alexander-Arnold succession plan Liverpool boss Arne Slot<\/a> has hinted Conor Bradley could be Liverpool’s long-term option at right-back<\/a>. Current first-choice right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold<\/a> appears Real Madrid<\/a> bound, but Bradley’s development means there might not be any need to dip into the transfer market.<\/p>\n “Conor, I think, has only had one or two injuries this season and was fit for most of the season before,” the Dutchman said. “Joe [Gomez] has a bit more of a history of injuries, but it\u2019s also very difficult for a player like him (to stay fit) because he\u2019s been in and out of the team more than he might want.<\/p>\n \u201cTo keep those players fit is always more difficult than the ones who play almost every game. I don\u2019t look at Conor as a player who can only play 20 games a season because last season he was fit all the way through and this season he\u2019s had two injuries. I think we can only judge Conor on his fitness if he is good enough, which I think he is, to become a regular starter for us.\u201d<\/p>\n Join our new WhatsApp community <\/a>and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
