Martin Keown believes Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah could score a hat-trick in the Premier League match against Manchester United on Sunday afternoon.
The Egyptian isn't at his usual goalscoring level for Liverpool this season, but has still struck 20 goals in all competitions, including nine goals and five assist in 24 Premier League games.
A goal for Salah on Sunday at Anfield will see him move ahead of Steven Gerrard and into the outright lead for the highest scorer in this fixture in the Premier League era.

Salah has missed a number of big chances this season, but Keown is worried for United if it all clicks for the Egyptian on Sunday.
“Salah is the one that is the biggest mystery," Keown told TalkSPORT. "He needs to get back scoring goals.
“If he can get a little run, you know. Could he get a hat-trick this weekend? He is never far away, is he? In every game, he gets chances, he is not putting them away.”
