Luis Suarez is eligible to play against City tonight following Liverpool's silence over eight-match ban appeal.

Luis Suarez is eligible to play against Manchester City tonight as Liverpool have yet to inform the FA whether or not they will appeal the ban given to their player.

Liverpool have until January 13 to decide whether to appeal against the length of the suspension given to the Uruguayan.

The ban was handed to the striker for racially abusing Manchester United's Patrice Evra, according to the findings of an independent commission that were released on Friday.

Despite the 115-page report, Anfield officials have yet to respond to the FA and Suarez is therefore available to face City, unless the club's position changes before kick off.

Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish has insisted that Suarez is mentally strong enough to deal with the controversy, so it is likely that he will be named in the Reds' starting lineup.

Suárez was unavailable for Liverpool's 3-1 win over Newcastle through suspension.
