Gallas: We Must Wait For Our Anfield Chance

Arsenal skipper William Gallas anticipates an uphill struggle against defensive Liverpool at Anfield on Tuesday evening, but he believes that his side are capable of grabbing that vital away goal.

The French ace told UEFA.com, "We can do it but we know it will be really, really difficult for us because their supporters will be behind them. We know Anfield and it will be difficult to play there so we have to be strong."

Arsenal and the Reds have fought out consecutive 1-1 draws both in Europe and the Premier League over the last week, giving Gallas plenty of food for thought.

"They are a different proposition in the Champions League," he warned.

"They are more compact, they open up less and they keep their shape well as they showed [in the first leg]. We will have to be patient but as soon as we get a chance, give everything. We mustn't drop our heads even if we have let in a goal."

Away games shouldn't hold much fear for the side that defeated AC Milan 2-0 at the mighty San Siro, but Gallas feels that Liverpool have an ace up their sleeve.

He mused, "Against Milan we pressed them very high and played very quick but against Liverpool that will be difficult because [in England] we play this way every weekend so they will be ready. It's like playing a league game.

"Against Milan it was different, we were able to impose our style of play and I think the Milanese were a bit surprised.

"It will be very, very difficult because they will want to stay in place, it will be up to us to take the game to them. I think all the boys are ready for the big fight because it is a big fight. We have to enjoy it, play our football and try to beat them."
