Continuing the discourse, popular presenter Woods asked McCoist which Premier League players can be called "world class".

The affable Scot, 61, replied: "You look at guys like Zaha, world class."

Baffled by his answer, Woods said: "Zaha?!"

Laughing, McCoist clarified: "I meant (Mo) Salah!"

Zaha, 31, left the Premier League last summer when his Crystal Palace contract expired.

He subsequently joined Galatasaray, and played against former club Manchester United in the Champions League earlier this term.

The winger has fallen out of favour of late, starting his side's last four league matches on the bench.

He has managed 10 goals in all competitions this season, including one at Old Trafford.

Zaha has played 305 times in the Premier League, scoring 68 times and laying on 43 assists.

Salah, meanwhile, is having another sensational season - grabbing 19 goals and 10 assists.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is sweating on the Egyptian's fitness ahead of tomorrow's Carabao Cup final.
