Aly Cissokho has urged his Liverpool teammates to pile further misery on Arsenal when the two sides meet in the FA Cup on Sunday.

The Gunners will host Liverpool this weekend just eight days after a 5-1 thrashing suffered at the hands of their rivals in the Premier League.

Cissokho believes that it is vital they make Arsenal "uncomfortable" once again during a difficult run of fixtures for Arsene Wenger's side, who play Bayern Munich in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on Wednesday.

"It will be very tough mentally for them after losing the game like they did last week," the French defender told reporters. "It's a difficult run for them and they're not in the best run of form at the moment.

"We have to make sure we profit from their drop in form and don't let them develop their game, get on top from the first tackle and make them uncomfortable.

"In their mind they must be thinking of Bayern too. We have to get on top early."

Liverpool are currently on a nine-match unbeaten run in all competitions.
