Mohamed Salah’s record for the most goals in a 38-game Premier League season is at risk after Pep Guardiola confidently predicted that Erling Haaland would break it.

The Egyptian scored 32 times during the 2017/2018 campaign, his first season at Liverpool. But despite the current term being just 11 games old, Haaland already looks set to break Salah’s effort with ease.

The Norwegian has notched an astonishing 17 goals so far this season, following his brace in Manchester City’s win over Brighton. It means he only needs to score 16 games in his final 27 matches to surpass Salah, a feat City boss Guardiola believes he can do.

“You don’t have to be a genius. If he continues with this rhythm, the average every game he is going to break the record. But in football, maybe you score and then a few days you stop scoring, you don’t know,” Guardiola said.

“He is happy when the team win and is not when we don’t win. All the strikers I have seen in my career like Samuel Eto’o, David Villa, Lionel Messi, [Robert] Lewandowski, Thomas Muller and Sergio Aguero have an incredible ambition to score a lot of goals.

“That’s normal. It has to be there. Dortmund and the period there helped him because of the manager he had, the mates he had. Hopefully in a few years he will be a better player thanks to the mates he plays with here.”
