#1 Marcos Alonso vs Mohamed Salah

Can Salah score the winner again?
Can Salah score again against Chelsea?

Mohamed Salah has taken the Premier League by storm this season following his arrival from Roma and is breaking records like a maniac at the moment!

The Egyptian has been voted as the PFA Player of the Season and the FWA Footballer of the Year and has scored 31 goals this season- equalling the record for most goals in a 38 game season.

He returned to Roma midweek and helped Liverpool reach the UEFA Champions League final and it is another homecoming on the cards for the winger this week as he returns to Stamford Bridge, where he spent a couple of years.

It is Marcos Alonso who will be entrusted with the responsibility of keeping Salah quiet- something not many defenders have been able to do this season. Alonso returns from a 3-match suspension and is likely to replace Emerson Palmieri who has stepped up in his absence.

Alonso was voted into the PFA Team of the Season and he will want to justify his selection, which has baffled many. Alonso is also a major offensive threat as well and can be found in very advanced positions very often which may see Salah being asked to track him back, thereby causing a slight change in his role.

If Alonso and Chelsea can keep Salah quiet, then half the battle is won.
