Arsenal travel to Anfield to face Liverpool this weekend and Mohamed Salah’s recent tweet has prompted a response from some Gunners fans.
Unai Emery will be hoping that his side can keep the Egypt international quiet on Saturday evening as they look to make it three wins on the bounce in the Premier League.
Salah did not score in Liverpool’s recent victory at Southampton but opened his account for the season on the opening day in his team’s 4-1 win against Norwich City.
There were some mixed responses to Salah’s tweet on Wednesday…

Read Arsenal’s verdict
Stopping Salah is going to be an uphill battle; it’s difficult enough for most teams in world football, let alone one that has become synonymous with defensive mishaps in the past few years.
The winger is likely to line up on the right-hand side, meaning that either Sead Kolasinac or Nacho Monreal will be dealt with the difficult task of keeping him quiet.
Salah does tend to drift in and out of games, but his proficient nature in front of goal makes him one of the Premier League’s best players, and if Arsenal are to come away with a surprise result at Anfield this weekend, stopping him will be essential.
