Liverpool star Sadio Mane has a chance to equal to Teddy Sheringham’s Premier League feat if he plays in Friday’s opening fixture against Norwich City.
Mane would become the first player since 1995 to score a goal in match week 1 of four consecutive campaign.
Sheringham set the record when he scored in the inaugural 1992-93 campaign through to 1995-96.
Mane returned to Melwood on Monday after his outing at the Afcon in Egypt, where he helped Senegal to a second-place finish.
