Former Liverpool boss Graeme Souness admits that he is encouraged by the potential strike partnership of Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge.

Former Liverpool manager Graeme Souness has claimed that Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge have the makings of a successful strike partnership.

Sturridge came off to bench to score for the Merseysiders in Sunday's 2-1 defeat at Manchester United in the Premier League.

"All of a sudden Suarez had someone up and around him who he could bounce the ball off and the pair of them looked like they have the beginnings of a real partnership," Souness told Sky Sports News.

"Sturridge looked lively and there's no doubting this boy has got real ability. The question is whether he can couple that ability with a great attitude, which has been the question mark against him all the time."

Sturridge has now scored two goals in his first two games for Liverpool following his recent £12m move from Chelsea.
