Reaching this milestone underlines his dedication, growth, and the promise of a bright future.

Liverpool enters this Boxing Day fixture with history on their side. They have emerged victorious in 15 of their last 22 league encounters against Leicester City, including 11 wins at Anfield. The Reds’ dominance in these fixtures reflects their unyielding form, especially at home. A win on Tuesday would continue Liverpool’s impressive Boxing Day streak, having won their last seven matches played on this festive date, scoring 20 goals and conceding just one.
Individually, Mohamed Salah’s record on Boxing Day is another shining light. With six goal contributions (two goals and four assists), the Egyptian King leads the league for contributions on December 26. Alongside Trent Alexander-Arnold, who has been involved in five goals across his Boxing Day outings, Salah remains a crucial figure in Liverpool's attack.
The significance of Boxing Day for Liverpool transcends statistics. From their last home defeat on this day in 1986 to iconic performances like Roger Hunt’s four-goal spree in 1963, the tradition encapsulates the spirit of football and the club’s storied legacy. Fans will be watching eagerly as the Reds aim to extend their 21-game unbeaten streak this season and solidify their position at the Premier League summit. With Curtis Jones and his teammates chasing personal and collective glory, the stage is set for another memorable night at Anfield.
