Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has not decided yet whether Luis Suarez will start at Manchester United but says the striker is "really champing at the bit to help the team" after his ban. Suarez has just completed his 10-match suspension for biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic in April. He will be eligible to play in Wednesday's League Cup third-round tie at Old Trafford.
"He'll travel and we'll reflect over the next 24 hours whether he starts," Rodgers said. Suarez has been playing in games organised for him by the club and represented Uruguay earlier this month in World Cup qualifiers.
"It has been a really difficult time for him not playing games," added Rodgers. "How he has prepared himself over the last number of weeks has been fantastic. Everyone knows the depth of his quality and his attitude. Once he gets back on the field again he will show what he has shown since he's been here." Suarez joined Liverpool from Ajax in January 2011 for £22.7m and has scored 51 goals in 96 appearances.
Luis Suarez is 13/8 to score on Wednesday at Bet365 while the most likely man to score according to the bookies in Robin Van Persie, priced at 21/20. Here are the full time result odds for the match at Bet365:
