Luis Suarez's 2013-14 season with Liverpool is commonly considered among the greatest individual seasons in Premier League history. However, could Mohamed Salah eclipse it in the current year? We've closely examined the statistics.
Liverpool were almost robbed of the Premier League title by Manchester City in 2013-14, but they likely wouldn't have had a chance without Suarez at his absolute best.
The Uruguayan was undoubtedly the key player for Brendan Rodgers' Reds that year, having scored 31 goals, all of them from open play, and surprisingly outpacing every other player in the league with 10 more goals. Not only did he excel as a scorer, but he also provided a total of 12 assists for his teammates during the season.
He had missed the initial games of the season due to serving the remainder of a suspension handed down after biting Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic in the previous season. However, since his extended layoff, he had been an integral part of Liverpool's surprise push for the championship title.
In that year, Liverpool did not participate in the European competition, and Suarez made only three additional appearances in the two domestic cup competitions.
This season, Arne Slot's team, Liverpool, is actively competing on multiple fronts. They have secured the top position in the group stage of the 32-team Champions League, plus they have advanced to the semi-finals of the League Cup and progressed past the first round of the FA Cup.
With the arrival of early February, the possibility of an unprecedented quadruple title remains on the table, largely due to Salah's remarkable recent performance.
Liverpool's Egyptian superstar has achieved 25 goals and 17 assists in all competitions, with an impressive 21 goals and 13 assists in the Premier League, making him the top player in both categories.
We have the rest of the business portion of the campaign ahead and Mohamed Salah has played almost as many minutes as Luis Suarez did during the entire 2013-14 season for Liverpool in all competitions.
Looking at Premier League data, how does Salah stack up? We've analyzed their goal and assist tallies, as well as their penalty record, including the rate per minute, to put these two modern Liverpool icons side by side.
