Rafa Benitez: Sturridge and Suarez is the most dangerous strike duo in EPL

Former Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez has hailed Reds duo Luis Suarez andDaniel Sturridge as the country’s ‘most dangerous’ strike partnership.

The Napoli coach believes that the duo are as good as any in the Premier League and has praised Suarez for the way he has bounced back from his suspension.

“Everybody knows how he [Luis Suarez] has a hunger for football and it has been very impressive to see the way that he is showing so soon – immediately – after coming back what a dangerous player he is,” Benitez told the Independent.

Benitez also took the time to recognise Sturridge’s excellent form for the Reds, and says the former Chelsea man is gaining in confidence with every game.

“You will have to believe me when I say that it is not my connection with for Liverpool which makes me name Daniel Sturridge, too: a different sort of player but one who has confidence that comes with starting games.

“We have said several times already this season that strikers work off confidence and need to feel that they are an important part of the manager’s plans. These two have created the most dangerous striking partnership in the Premier League so far this season.”
