Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has backed in-form striker Luis Suarez as the man to fire the Reds back into the Champions League.
Suarez has netted six goals in his last four games and will be a key dangerman when the Merseysiders take on table-topping Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
He is a player..who deserves to be playing at the highest level of European football, but we believe he can do that at Liverpool.

And Rodgers believes that Suarez can fulfil his dream of playing in European football’s premier club competition without moving away from Anfield.
“He is a player, like some of our other players, who deserves to be playing at the highest level of European football, but we believe he can do that at Liverpool,” Rodgers said.
“Everyone talks about his goals and work-rate, but I’ve seen an improvement in his football ability and his maturity.
“That really bodes well for us. We won’t get carried away, we have to keep our concentration and continue to work hard.”
Suarez is again set to be partnered by Daniel Sturridge, who is currently the leading scorer in the Premier League, having netted eight times in nine league outings this term.
The England man has only failed to score against Southampton and Sturridge is 5/1 to open the scoring against the Gunners, with Suarez 5/1.
Uruguayan Suarez was on the scoresheet in the 2-2 draw between the two teams at the Emirates Stadium last season and can be backed at 11/8 to score at any time.
