Giant mural of Mohamed Salah near Liverpool's ground close to completion - in pictures

Liverpool and Egypt star Mohamed Salah has every reason to feel upbeat.

Jurgen Klopp's side are chasing an unprecedented quadruple this season. After trailing Premier League leaders Manchester City by 14 points in January, Liverpool have hunted down the champions, winning nine successive games to close the gap to one point as they seek a second title in three seasons.

A victory against Watford in their next league game on April 2 would set the stage for a title showdown with Pep Guardiola's team at the Etihad Stadium on April 10.

Liverpool are aiming to add the Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup titles to the League Cup they won with a penalty shootout victory over Chelsea in February, which would make them the first men's team in England to win the three major domestic trophies plus the European crown.

For Salah, there was more positive news on the international front as he avenged, to a degree, Egypt's Afcon final defeat by scoring the lone goal in their 1-0 win over Sadio Mane's Senegal in the World Cup 2022 play-off first leg.

And to cap it all, a giant mural of Salah by local artist John Culshaw is nearing completion at Anfield Road, images of which can be seen in the picture gallery above.
