On this day, Manchester City , which announced on Thursday the signing of Marmoush from Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany, hosts Liverpool, where Salah plays.

Liverpool, the league leaders, beat Manchester City 2-0 in their first match in the tournament this season, when Salah scored for his team.

Marmoush , who has recently shone brightly in the German league, is expected to quickly enter the circle of stardom in his English counterpart, knowing that he will be required to compete with Salah, the Premier League’s top scorer with 18 goals, and the leader in the assists ranking with 13 assists.

City announced the signing of Marmoush (25 years old) on Thursday, in a move that provides late support for Norwegian striker Erling Haaland.

Marmoush joined the English Premier League title holders for 70 million euros, according to reports.

The Egyptian star is in second place in the German league’s top scorers list behind Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane, having scored 15 goals in 17 matches with Frankfurt this season.

The move caps a rapid development for Marmoush, who joined Frankfurt on a free transfer in 2023 from Wolfsburg, where he scored just five goals the previous season.

It is not yet clear how Marmoush will adapt to Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola’s style of play . His best performance was when he played in a two-forward formation, playing alongside former Paris Saint-Germain striker Hugo Ekitike, but Pep prefers to rely on one striker, Haaland .

Marmoush can play on the flanks, and has played in these positions with the Egyptian national team, but he does not achieve the same success as when he plays in the middle.

Marmoush scored 6 goals and made 3 assists in 35 matches he played with the Pharaohs
