Everton take on Liverpool in the very first Merseyside Derby in the Premier League at the newly minted Hill Dickinson Stadium on Sunday, April 19, 2026. As Liverpool travels to face Everton, there is a distinct end-of-an-era feeling in the air. For Mohamed Salah, the "Egyptian King," this fixture marks his final showdown against Liverpool's bitter cross-city rivals.
As the curtain begins to fall on Salah's legendary Anfield career, his output against the Toffees has been nothing short of spectacular. Here is a deep dive into the stats, records, and history of Mohamed Salah in the Merseyside Derby as he looks to bow out with one last golden moment.
Mohamed Salah's Overall Record Against Everton
Since arriving at Anfield from Roma in 2017, Salah has been a constant thorn in Everton's side. While
the Merseyside Derby is notoriously tight and physical, Salah has consistently found ways to unlock the Blues' defense.
Salah's Premier League Stats vs. Everton:
Matches Played: 14
Wins: 7
Draws: 5
Losses: 2
Goals: 8
Assists: 3
Total Goal Involvements: 11
Across these 14 encounters, Salah has proven to be incredibly reliable on the right flank, using his trademark inside-cut to bend these high-pressure derbies in Liverpool's favor.
Chasing the Ghost of Steven Gerrard
Heading into today's kickoff, Mo Salah is on the verge of tying or breaking a massive club milestone.
Currently sitting on 8 Premier League goals against Everton, Salah is just one goal shy of equaling the legendary Steven Gerrard, who holds the Liverpool record for the most Premier League goals scored in Merseyside Derbies (9).
If Salah finds the back of the net today against the Toffees, he matches Gerrard's incredible tally. If he manages a brace, the outright record is his.
Given his recent resurgence in form, including a clinical strike against Fulham last weekend and a razor-sharp midweek cameo against PSG, few would bet against Salah etching his name at the top of that list.
Mohamed Salah Top Merseyside Derby Moments
Salah has a habit of using the Merseyside Derby as his personal record-breaking playground.
The 500th Klopp Goal (December 2021): During a resounding 4-1 crushing of Everton at Goodison Park, Salah scored a brilliant brace. His second goal of the night was officially Liverpool's 500th Premier League goal under manager JÜrgen Klopp.
The Away Contribution Record (February 2025): Last season, in a pulsating 2-2 draw at Goodison, Salah assisted Alexis Mac Allister and scored a goal of his own. In doing so, Salah became the first player in Premier League history to be directly involved in 22 away goals in a single campaign, surpassing the previous record held by Newcastle's Andy Cole (21).
However, with Salah desperate to leave one last mark on this fixture, and Everton eager to secure a historic first win at their new stadium to help boost their own top-seven European hopes, this flank will be the game's ultimate battleground.
