Allardyce: Liverpool attack better than Man City

West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce rates Liverpool's attack as the best in the Premier League.

Allardyce wrote in the London Evening Standard: "We're looking forward to Sunday's match against Liverpool with relish. They're the form team in the Premier League with the best strike partnership in Daniel Sturridge and Luis Suarez.

"When you have one striker in peak form you thank your lucky stars and when you have two, as Brendan Rodgers has, you're in dreamland.

"It's almost as if Liverpool's two front men are having a personal battle -'you score one and I'll try and get two'.

"It is great competition and it looks like the two of them are getting on well together. That perhaps wasn't the case earlier in the partnership when whoever was asked to play wide sometimes seemed to have a bit of a sulk.

"Now, though, both are playing out of their skins and as a partnership, pose the biggest threat in the Premier League - bigger than at Manchester City where Alvaro Negredo has lost a little form and Sergio Aguero has had injury problems."
