Suarez reveling in Sturridge partnership


Luis Suarez is reveling in his fruitful strike partnership with Daniel Sturridge at Liverpool, and has set his sights on a top-four finish.

The striking partners have formed an impressive alliance for the Anfield club since Sturridge joined from Chelsea in January, scoring a combined tally of 12 goals in nine Premier League appearances they have made together.




Both players were once again on the score sheet as Liverpool breezed to a 3-1 home victory over Crystal Palace on Saturday, and Suarez hopes the duo can fire the Reds into the Champions League.

"We compete for the shirt of Liverpool and we try our best for the team, not for me or him," he told The Liverpool Echo. "When you have one big striker and a very good player in Daniel, I am so happy. He tries his best for the team and tries his best to play with me.




"Last season we didn't play very well and we finished in a bad position and this season we'll try to be better. If we stay with the same football style and try for the win every game, we can try for the top four."






Brendan Rodgers' charges, behind Arsenal on goals scored, continue their campaign with a trip to Newcastle United on Oct. 19 after the international break.

25. Stephane Ruffier, Saint-Etienne Had Stephane Ruffier not sustained a groin injury in 2011, Monaco might never have been relegated to Ligue 2. But he did, and they were, and that summer the then-24-year-old goalkeeper joined Saint-Etienne, rebuffing Manchester City in the progress. This season he played all 38 Ligue 1 matches for Les Verts for a second season in succession, conceding just 32 goals as his side finished a surprising fifth in the standings and qualified for the Europa League. 24. Pepe Reina, Liverpool Only Joe Hart kept more Premier League clean sheets than Pepe Reina in 2012-13. In a season that saw Liverpool finish a disappointing seventh in the English top-flight, the 30-year-old managed to keep things respectable from a defensive standpoint, conceding only 34 goals and stopping 88 per cent of the shots he faced. To finish the season he conceded just a single goal in his last four matches. 23. Mariano Andujar, Catania Only Parma managed ...

The Happy Di Matteo..!

Roberto Di Matteo watched his attacking stars inspire a 5-4 extra-time victory over Manchester United and he preferred to savour a second night of high-scoring league cup thrills rather than focus on "the other stuff" in football. The Chelsea manager did not need to spell out what he meant, in the wake of the league fixture against United on Sunday, when his team's controversial 3-2 home defeat was followed by the allegation that the referee Mark Clattenburg had racially abused Mikel John Obi. There had also been spite in the stands. Di Matteo focused on the flair and spirit that his team had shown here, when they came from behind three times to force the extra period, with the substitute Eden Hazard scoring from the penalty spot with the very last kick of normal time. Hazard's quick feet and sumptuous reverse pass created what proved to be the decisive fifth goal late in extra-time for Ramires. "Over the last two days we have seen...

But the “Hips Don’t Lie” singer reveals that dropping the pounds was no cake walk. While promoting “The Voice” in Pasadena, California, on Monday, the blond bombshell revealed, "[Losing baby weight] is the only thing that’s been a little stressful … I knew I had to come back here to do ‘The Voice’ two months after I had delivered a baby.
