Mikel Arteta reveals Arsenal's plan to stop Alexander Isak at Liverpool

Mikel Arteta has revealed Arsenal's strategy to thwart Alexander Isak during their upcoming Premier League match against Liverpool. The north Londoners are aiming to secure a victory that would place them above Manchester City at the top of the table. Since September 2012, Arsenal has not won a Premier League game against Liverpool at Anfield, a 13-game losing streak.

Isak has been in exceptional form this season, netting six goals in seven Premier League appearances, surpassing Erling Haaland's tally. Arteta addressed the media about Isak's impact, emphasizing the need to keep him as far from the goal as possible. He acknowledged the challenge posed by Isak and the entire Liverpool attack when they have space to exploit.

Arteta's statement highlights Arsenal's recognition of the danger posed by Isak and their determination to neutralize that threat in the upcoming match.
