Jack Wilshere not looking forward to Liverpool test

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has revealed that he is not relishing coming up against Liverpool this afternoon.

The Gunners host the Reds at the Emirates Stadium, having been hammered 5-1 by them eight days ago.

Speaking to The Times, Wilshere said: "Liverpool were the best team I've played against this season. Jordan Henderson was tough this year. He's got a great attitude to football. He's not nice to play against. You walk off and you're knackered.

"Coutinho was good. Suarez can be unreal. His brain seems to work quicker than that of other players. He's on the ball and you think, 'What are you doing?' and all of a sudden he's gone. [Steven Gerrard's] passing range is still amazing, the best in the Premier League."

Arsenal face Bayern Munich in the Champions League this week.
