He's hit the net an amazing 22 times, five more than Heung-Min Son and Cristiano Ronaldo.

He is also the leading assist contributor in the top flight, having managed one more than team-mate Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The Egypt international succeeds last year's winner, City defender Ruben Dias, and the reds will be hoping it's not the last victory over their rivals.
