West Bromwich Albion's Zoltan Gera expects "easier" battle against Arsenal

West Bromwich Albion winger Zoltan Gera believes that playing against Arsenal this weekend will be an "easier" test than that against Stoke City.

The Baggies succumbed to a 1-0 defeat to the Potters on Saturday but the 33-year-old is confident that Steve Clarke's side can get back on track against Arsenal this weekend.

"We're disappointed as we lost on Saturday but we have a chance to pick up points in our next game," Gera told the club's official website.

"We have Arsenal in our next game and I think it will be easier for us to play against Arsenal than it was to play Stoke. There are no excuses and we have to always play well no matter who we are against.

"Every game is difficult in the Premier League and there are no easy games. We have to end this run and we have to pick up points and I'm sure we will."

West Brom are currently fifth in the league table with 26 points.
