The highlight of round 17 of the Premier League is the big match between Liverpool and Man Utd taking place tomorrow (11:30 p.m. December 17, Vietnam time).

Jurgen Klopp's team shocked Man Utd with a score of 7-0 last season. That was the match where striker Mohamed Salah scored an impressive double against goalkeeper David De Gea.

The 0-7 loss to the "Red Brigade" marked the worst milestone for Man Utd when they suffered the heaviest defeat in history since 1931.

The Egyptian striker is on the verge of achieving something very few people can do, as he has scored or assisted in 16 consecutive matches for his team.

If the 31-year-old striker continues to score a goal or an assist against Man Utd, he will become the player with the second longest scoring streak in Premier League history, behind only legend Alan Shearer (Blackburn).

The Egyptian international has scored 12 goals against Man Utd - a record that has never been achieved by a player for any club to date. In particular, Salah has just scored his 200th goal for Liverpool in Liverpool's 2-1 comeback win over Crystal Palace.

In the match against Man Utd, coach Jurgen Klopp's team was missing many key players due to injury. Center back Joel Matip tore his ligament, Thiago Alcantara and Andrew Robertson will also be out until the new year.

Stefan Bajcetic remains sidelined. Striker Diogo Jota has a hamstring problem and could miss out along with Alexis Mac Allister.

Meanwhile, Man Utd will be without Lisandro Martinez or Casemiro. Christian Eriksen and Tyrell Malacia will also be absent. Bruno Fernandes is absent after receiving his fifth yellow card of the season and Mason Mount is in doubt about his form.
