Arsenal's Sokratis Says Playing Liverpool Could Be Easier Than Burnley

Arsenal defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos has suggested facing Liverpool could be easier than Burnley.

The Gunners beat the Clarets 2-1 on Saturday and will play the Reds next Saturday.

Per Goal's Charles Watts, Sokratis said:

"For a defender it is more difficult [to play teams like Burnley] because you have to fight a lot.

"It [Liverpool] is a different game. Maybe it is more easy, because you don't have to fight a lot—but they also play football.

"If they are on good day and you are having a bad day, it is hard.
