Steven Gerrard reveals how not to tackle Liverpool's SAS - Sturridge and Suarez

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard wished future opponents ‘all the best’ should they wish to go head-to-head with Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge.

The Reds won again yesterday, their fourth straight win to go second in the Premier League. They beat Southampton 3-0 away from home to make a real statement of intent.

Luis Suarez scored one, assisted the second and won the penalty for the third goal to lift Liverpool above Manchester City and Arsenal in the league table.

His goal took him to 24 overall in the league and he assisted his 10th goal, which also took him above everyone else in the league.

“If teams wants to play two versus two against these two – Suarez and Sturridge – all the best,” Gerrard told Sky Sports.

Suarez and Sturridge have starred all season and have scored more goals than most of the teams in the Premier League with just Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Man Utd scoring more than the pair.

And when asked if the victory over Southampton sent a message to Liverpool’s title rivals, Gerrard replied: “Yeah I think we have.

“I see [Theo] Walcott is in your studio, they [Arsenal] lost today and we won.

“I’m sure many people in the Premier League are looking out for us because we’ve got no Europe. We’re fresh going into every game.

“All we asked for at the beginning of the season is ‘can we be in it with 10 games to go?’

“We are certainly in it. We’re still not the favourites. I think Chelsea and Manchester City are still the favourites but we need to keep going and try and win every game.

“With world-class players in your team like this fella [Suarez] you can beat anyone.”
