Chris Sutton has questioned the form of Mohamed Salah this season as the ex-Blackburn Rovers striker wonders what happened to the Liverpool forward.
Salah won the Golden Boot in the Premier League last campaign, but has only notched seven times this time around - 18 goals behind current leader Erling Haaland.
The Egyptian is joint-top scorer in the Champions League, but his form outside of Europe is worrying and Liverpool need a spark from their main man.

Liverpool don't play until Monday night when they welcome Merseyside rivals Everton to Anfield as they look to finally move up the Premier League table. The Reds are currently in 10th place while the Blues sit in 18th.
Sutton wrote in his Daily Mail column: "What has happened to Mohamed Salah? Once a Fantasy Football banker, he has not scored or assisted a goal in the Premier League since Boxing Day. He embodies Liverpool’s confidence crisis."
The Premier League winner also isn't convinced by the signing of Cody Gakpo in the January window, and argues Liverpool should have made a change to their struggling midfield.
"Liverpool signed Cody Gakpo in January," added Sutton. "Nice player, but it was the midfield that needed addressing. Liverpool’s lack of control in midfield has been a major issue. And yet Klopp and Co did not fix the problem last month."
