Liverpool duo Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge were exceptional in the 3-1 win against Sunderland on Sunday.

The Uruguayan, making his first league start since his 10 match suspension, scored twice, with Sturridge claiming both assists. The England man scored the other goal.

It led to their manager Brendan Rodgers to declare after the match: "I am not sure there are two better in the league, in all honesty."

He went on: "Those two are right up there with the best in the country and you saw that today.

"Those two will only get better. You can see their understanding - we have done a lot of work with them together in training and they looked very, very bright today.

"They are two different types as well, which makes it hard for defenders because one has pace, one has power and two good feet, and the other is a wriggler and can shift his body very quickly and ends up in the box.

"The dynamics of them are very good."

But do Suarez and Sturridge form the best strike partnership in the Premier League?
