Liverpool vs Preston North
Liverpool will host Preston North End at nine o'clock this evening, Wednesday, in the League Cup round of 16 competitions this season 2021-2022.
Liverpool, the professional in its ranks, the Egyptian international, Mohamed Salah, overtook Norwich City after beating it 3-0 in the round of 32 of the League Cup, while Preston North End beat Cheltenham Town 4-1. Liverpool will resume its competition in the English League Cup, after a historic victory over Manchester United 5-0 last Sunday, in the ninth round of the English Premier League, on a night during which the Egyptian star Mohamed Salah starred, as he scored a hat-trick and provided a decisive pass. All indicators favor Liverpool at the expense of Preston, but the German coach, Jurgen Klopp, refuses to tolerate the opponent in order to fade the surprise in the League Cup, so the main goal will be to win in order to progress more in the playoffs in the local championship. It is expected that the German coach, Jurgen Klopp, will push a number of bench players, and rest some of the main players, but without prejudice to the composition of the formation as a whole, in order to settle the match and qualify for the quarter-finals of the League Cup. The Egyptian star, Mohamed Salah, is the most prominent Liverpool player at the present time, undisputedly, thanks to his distinguished performance and unprecedented scoring series.
Mohamed Salah performed a superb performance against Manchester United, where he scored a wonderful hat-trick, which put him at the forefront of the covers of international newspapers during the past two days. Mohamed Salah, the Liverpool star, surpassed Didier Drogba, the former Chelsea striker, and became the historical top scorer for Africans in the English Premier League, as the Egyptian star reached the 107th goal, overtaking the Ivorian Elephant, who has 104 goals. Mo Salah also became the first player to score in 10 consecutive matches with Liverpool in all competitions, the first player to score a hat-trick at Old Trafford in the history of the English Premier League, and the first in all competitions since the phenomenon Ronaldo in 2003.
