Is Salah in Better Form than Saka?

Now, let’s be clear! Both Mohamed Salah and Bukayo Saka are at the top of their abilities. And, both have been scoring and providing assists.

Still, Salah has registered slightly better numbers recently. While Saka has scored twice and assisted twice over the past two games, Arsenal’s player struggled before that against Chelsea, Inter, and Newcastle.

By contrast, Mo Salah, has scored four goals and assisted three over the past five games. And, even though he didn’t score against Real Madrid in Liverpool’s last game, he played well.

Can Salah Extend His Run in Fantasy Football and Beyond?

Arne Slot will rely heavily on Salah in what could be the derby of the early part of the season, Sunday’s game against Manchester City. Salah is one of the great big-game players.

Liverpool will face Newcastle next, Everton, and Girona. Considering his form and how well he has been interacting with players like Luis Diaz or Curtis Jones recently, Salah can extend this run of form further.
