VIDEO: What is Pep cooking?! Man City boss Guardiola spotted deep in conversation with Liverpool talisman Mohamed Salah in tunnel following defeat to Arne Slot's champions-elect

Salah was on the mark against City yet again as the Egyptian opened the scoring for Arne Slot's side during the 2-0 win over the defending Premier League champions. After the match, Salah was spotted hanging out with Guardiola as the pair shared a conversation together.

Salah could leave Liverpool at the end of the season with his contract due to expire soon, so could Guardiola have been attempting to lure the Egyptian to the Etihad Stadium in a shock transfer? Well, probably not. The winger has the most goals (9) and most assists (6) of any player against sides managed by Guardiola as per the BBC's Match of the Day, so you can understand why the Catalan tactician might want him on his side.

Liverpool are now safely in the driving seat in the Premier League title race and Salah will be hoping that what could well be his last season will bear another Premier League title and potentially a Champions League crown.
