Arsenal striker Chamakh excited making debut at Liverpool

Arsenal striker Marouane Chamakh is excited about making his Premiership debut at Liverpool.

Chamakh insists last season was a success for Arsenal, while for Liverpool it clearly was not.

While Roy Hodgson's new charges had to endure the ­ignominy of a qualification for the unwieldy Europa League, Arsenal were done and dusted in third place with a place among Europe's elite assured.

Chamakh said: "Arsenal had a good season.

"They were in third place.

"The over-riding objective was to qualify for the ­Champions League and I think they did their maximum.

"There is pressure at a club like Arsenal, but Liverpool will be under more pressure because they had a bad ­season. It'll be difficult for us, but it'll be difficult for Liverpool too.

"We have an edge ­because we don't have any pressure on us since it is an away match.

"I know it will be hard, but I am confident. We'll do ­everything we can to bring points back from up there."
