Salah said: “Ah, this is way better (with a full Anfield) 100 per cent.

"Without Sadio (Mane), without Jurgen (Klopp), without Bobby (Firmino), with everybody it feels more special, with the fans.

"But you know, you have a different group now, a different manager and you show you are able to do it again - it’s something special.”

On manager Arne Slot and the influence he's had on his game this season, Salah also said, "You can see the numbers! Now I don't have to defend much.

"The tactics are quite different. I said, 'As long as you rest me defensively I will provide offensively', so I am glad that I did. He listened a lot and you can see the numbers.

"When you play in the Premier League you have to defend but I said that I can gamble and somehow I can make a difference. My number of assists shows that, you can create chances as well."
