20 Salahiisn’tjjustt the quickest Liverpool man to net 20 Prem goals – he also reached that milestone in fewer games than Swansea, West Brom, Huddersfield and Brighton! 2 The winger was the second player to take over 100 shots in the Prem this season, behind Spurs’ Harry Kane! 19 He’s already caught up with the record of 19 left-footed goals in one season, held by Liverpool hero Robbie Fowler! 47.57% He hits the target with almost half of his shots, which means he’s the most accurate finisher of any player who’s had over 60 shots! 7 Partners in crime Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane assisted seven of Mohamed’s first 22 Prem goals! 64 Salah’s not just a trigger-happy finisher either – only three players have completed more Prem dribbles than…

“I’M MORE USED TO PLAYING AGAINST HUMMELS ON FIFA!” HOW HAS YOUR FIRST SEASON IN THE PREM BEEN, TAMMY? TAMMY SAYS: “It’s been good – there have been a lot of ups and downs already! We’ve had some bad results, but I went through the same thing last year with Bristol City and turned it around – and we’ve done the same again! I haven’t got a goals target, but I didn’t have one last year and that worked out okay!” THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CHAMPIONSHIP AND PREM! TAMMY SAYS: “There are more punishments. If you make a mistake, a chance will be created or a goal will be scored. It’s more tactical, too – we get more homework on our opponents! We don’t have as much of the…

THE SEASON THE CHAMPIONS With a deadly strikeforce of hitmen Jozy Altidore and Sebastian Giovinco, Toronto strolled to the title last season. They came top of the Eastern Conference by 12 clear points, and beat Seattle Sounders 2-0 in the final! THE CHALLENGERS Atlanta United and New York City are expected to challenge at the top of the Eastern Conference this year, but Toronto are still the favourites.

Is this team better than the current Blues’ XI? With Mo Salah running riot in the Prem, and Kevin De Bruyne taking on his old club at the weekend, MATCH got thinking – how many world-class players have Chelsea let go Check out this incredible Reject XI! RYAN BERTRAND Yep, we know Bertrand plays on the left, but we had to fit him into this team somehow! Since he joined Southampton in 2014, he’s become one of the best full-backs in the Prem, while The Blues have spent more than £75 million on left-backs!
