AI predicts Liverpool top scorers – number 2 may surprise

Artificial Intelligence has delivered its predictions for the 2025/26 season. The Anfield faithful will be delighted to discover the best goal scorers for the upcoming season.

With the challenge of defending the Premier League title, Liverpool will be counting on the performances of the attacking third.

We at Essential Football asked Perplexity.AI to predict Liverpool’s top goal scorers, and the results are absolutely stunning. Here are AI’s predicted top scorers for the upcoming season –

Mohammed Salah

Salah found himself on the scoresheet on 29 occasions last season and was instrumental in bringing the Premier League title home.

The upcoming season will see the Egyptian grow in stature, with 33 goals predicted. The Reds supporters will breath a huge sigh of relief knowing that the best of Salah is yet to come.

Being the focal point of attack and the squad’s designated penalty taker aids Salah’s predicted high goal tally.

Hugo Ekitike

The new summer recruit from Eintracht Frankfurt, Hugo Ekitike, is predicted to immediately hit the ground running in the PL.

With as many as 16 goals expected from the attacker this season, the Frenchman is one of the players Liverpool splashed big money on this summer.

Ekitike is expected to regularly feature for Arne Slot’s side this season even with the packed forward options available to Liverpool..

Cody Gakpo

Cody Gakpo scored 10 crucial goals for Liverpool last season.

AI predicts that Gakpo is going to further assert his presence at Anfield with as many as 15 goals expected.

The versatility that Gakpo offers upfront could make it a difficult task for Slot when selecting the playing eleven.

Florian Wirtz

Flortian Wirtz is another summer recruit expected to quickly integrate into the system at Liverpool, and also meaningfully contribute with goals.

AI predicts that the German international would net as many as 12 goals in the 2025/26 campaign.

Wirtz may take time to settle at Anfield but he is a quality player as he has shown in the Bundesliga and internationally for Germany.

Luiz Diaz

Luiz Diaz finished at the number two spot behind Mohammed Salah with 13 goals to his credit last season.

However, in the 2025/26 season, AI predicts that the Colombian attacker will find the back of the net on only 10 occasions.  

This could change if the Colombian moves on with Bayern Munich seriously interested in adding the star to their ranks to assist Harry Kane.

These predictions of course could change massively if Liverpool pull off the transfer coup of the summer and manage to add Newcastle’s Alexander Isak.
