| Arsene Wenger's side take on Olympiacos tonight |
ARSENE WENGER is convinced Premier League clubs are paying the price in Europe due to the intensity of top-flight matches.
The Gunners warmed up for their Champions League group game against Olympiakos tonight (7:45pm) by beating Leicester 5-2 last weekend.
But Wenger thinks the English clubs have it much tougher than their European counterparts.
"These teams dominate their leagues," Wenger said.
"Olympiacos won comfortably on Saturday, they were safe after 20 minutes, when we were in a high-intensity game at Leicester.
"Mentally you cannot ease off before a Champions League game, as some others can.
"For example Dinamo Zagreb played on Saturday and they took three players off at half-time. I cannot do that at Leicester.
"For sure the Premier League is demanding and consuming energy wise – mentally more than physically."
