Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic is ready for tomorrow's showdown with Liverpool striker Luis Suarez.

Suarez has earned plenty of plaudits since his move to Liverpool late in last January's transfer window, and while the Uruguayan forward is yet to feature against Chelsea, Ivanovic is well aware of the threat he poses.

He told chelseafc.com: "Luis Suarez is a good player, of course, but it's not just him, they have a number of good attacking options and we will need to be at our best to stop them."
