He added: "The lead is great but we concentrate on each game. Hopefully we carry on. it feels different (to previous missed opportunities) but we need to stay humble. We had a few injuries when we went ahead (In 2020/21) and we lose it, but hopefully we carry on with no injuries."

Salah is out of contract at the end of the current season alongside captain Virgil van Dijk and vice-captain Trent Alexander-Arnold who continues to be linked with a move to Real Madrid on a free transfer in the summer.
