The Egyptian has not won a Premier League match at Manchester City since joining Liverpool in 2017, and the same therefore goes for long-standing teammates Virgil van Dijk, Andy Robertson and Alisson Becker.
In the 10 years since, Liverpool have recorded a Champions League and FA Cup win at the Etihad, but in the league from a possible 24 points they have picked up just four.
