Martin Skrtel believes Liverpool can give Arsenal a 'hard time' in front of the Kop when the Barclays Premier League leaders travel to Anfield this Saturday.

The centre-back admits the Reds were disappointed by their draw with West Bromwich Albion on Sunday, but is backing Brendan Rodgers' men to bounce back when the Gunners journey to Merseyside.

Skrtel told his official website: "I am disappointed to be honest; we scored early and controlled the game but we only have a single point.

"We made a mistake but this is football and this can obviously happen to any one of us.

"However, I am confident we can beat Arsenal because we definitely have the strength to do so.

"They are the leaders at the moment but we can give them a hard time.

"It won't be an easy game but I am sure we can do something in front of our fans."
