Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says his side have a plan to stop Mohamed Salah when they take on Liverpool this Saturday.
The Egyptian currently leads the Premier League's goalscoring charts and he has 15 goals in 15 appearances in all competitions so far this season.
He'll look to continue his good run of form when they welcome the Gunners to Anfield this weekend, but Arsenal will do all they can to keep him quiet.
When asked whether they have a plan to stop Mohamed Salah, Arteta replied: "We have a plan like every week for the strengths and weakness of every team that we have to minimise and expose the weaknesses that they have.

"It’s one of the toughest places to go in the league, that’s for sure.
"For the environment, the energy that the stadium creates, the quality of the opponent, the quality of the coach that they have, for many reasons, that’s why they’ve been where they’ve been in the last few years, but we know that and we have to focus on what we can do and what we have to do."
However, this isn't the first time a manager has assembled a plan to minimise Salah's impact, only to be torn apart by the 29-year-old.
Prior to Liverpool's 5-0 thrashing of Manchester United last month, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer identified the Egyptian as the main threat in this team.
"They will give us problems, definitely. But we need to find solutions, we need to be compact," Solskjaer told Sky Sports ahead of the meeting in October.
“But it's in the key moments. Some of the goals Salah has scored lately has been pure brilliance. In the moments, the big players turn up.
“You cannot, in my experience, think consequence. You have to think responsibility and role.
"These big games demand focus and mentality, complete focus for 90 minutes,”
Despite the demand for 'complete focus' from his players, Salah scored the third hat-trick of his Liverpool career in the 5-0 thumping at Old Trafford.
And it acts as a warning to Arteta that even the best laid plans can be torn up by Liverpool's Egyptian king.
The forward's scintillating form this season has made him unplayable at times and he'll be looking to continue that against the London club this weekend.
