Son Heung-min has had the edge on his Golden Boot rival Mohamed Salah since the Liverpool star's African Cup of Nations heartache... the Spurs winger presents a huge threat to the Reds' quadruple hopes

The race for the Golden Boot will heat up on Saturday when Mohamed Salah's Liverpool take on Son Heung-min's Tottenham in a game with huge ramifications.

Liverpool go into the game just one point behind Manchester City in the Premier League title fight, while Spurs are only two off Arsenal in their push for the top-four.

By the end of Saturday evening, either one or both of their aspirations will have taken a significant blow as the season approaches its climax.

Liverpool's quadruple hopes are still alive with Mo Salah playing a huge part to their success this season

Son Heung-min has been edging up on Salah in the Golden Boot race since the start of January

Golden Boot contenders Mo Salah and Son Heung-min will go head to head on Saturday with huge stakes for both Liverpool and Tottenham going into their clash at Anfield

Son has already put a dent in Liverpool's title hopes this season with an equaliser during the reverse at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium following a mistake by goalkeeper Alisson

Although Salah's goal contribution rate has slowed since the African Cup of Nations, he has been a man for the big occasion for Jurgen Klopp's side throughout the 2021-22 season

Both teams have an array of attacking talent that could land a killer blow on the other but much of the attention will be focused on the battle between Salah and Son.
