Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard hopes that striker Luis Suarez will fire in the goals for the Reds when they go up against Manchester United next weekend.

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard is hopeful that striker Luis Suarez can cause some damage against Manchester United.

The Merseyside outfit come up against their fierce rivals next weekend and the England skipper has urged Suarez to add to his 15 Premier League goal tally.

"With a game against Man United coming up hopefully he's saving a few [goals] for them," the Belfast Telegraph quotes Gerrard as saying.

"He's a warrior. It's very rare to see in a centre-forward that mentality, that they never give up and fight for every ball, even when you are 3-0 up. It's 'kids in the street' stuff. He's the same every day in training."

Meanwhile, United frontman Wayne Rooney will be absent for the clash after being ruled out for a further two weeks with a knee injury.
