Kenya, Feb. 21 -- MANCHESTER, ENGLAND- Football fans are in for a treat this Sunday as two of Egypt's brightest stars, Omar Marmoush and Mohamed Salah, prepare to face off for the first time in the English Premier League.

The highly anticipated encounter between Manchester City and Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium promises to be an enthralling battle, with the spotlight firmly on the Egyptian duo.

Mohamed Salah, Liverpool's talismanic forward and widely regarded as the "Egyptian King," will take on Manchester City's rising star Omar Marmoush, dubbed the "Egyptian Prince" by fans.

Salah, 32, has been in scintillating form this season, leading the Premier League with his goal-scoring and playmaking prowess.

Meanwhile, Marmoush, 25, has quickly made a name for himself since joining Manchester City from Eintracht Frankfurt in January, showcasing his pace, skill, and clinical finishing.

This clash marks a historic moment for Egyptian football, as two of its biggest ambassadors go head-to-head on one of the sport's grandest stages.

The matchup adds an extra layer of intrigue to an already crucial fixture, with league leaders Liverpool looking to maintain their dominance, while Manchester City aim to close the gap amid a challenging season under Pep Guardiola.

Salah, a veteran of the Premier League, has long been an inspiration for Marmoush, who has spoken glowingly of his compatriot. "Salah is the best player in Egypt's history," Marmoush said recently.

"I always try to learn from him, but I want to create my own story." That story could take a significant step forward this weekend as Marmoush seeks to prove himself against the man who has set the standard for Egyptian footballers in Europe.

For fans in Egypt and beyond, the encounter is more than just a game-it's a celebration of national pride.

Cafes in Cairo are expected to be packed as supporters tune in to watch their heroes battle it out. While Salah's experience gives him the edge, Marmoush's hunger and versatility could make this a closer contest than anticipated.

Kickoff is scheduled for Sunday evening, and with both players in top form, this Premier League showdown is shaping up to be an unforgettable chapter in the legacy of Egyptian football.
