Liverpool's American owners will fly in this week to settle the storm created by Luis Suarez.

The Daily Mail says Fenway Sports Group's initial plans were to come over for the build-up to the Carling Cup final on February 26 but it is now expected they will bring forward their visit and be on Merseyside within days.

Principal owner John W Henry could be joined by chairman Tom Werner to dissect how Liverpool's global reputation could have been so badly damaged by a saga that culminated in Suarez refusing to shake Patrice Evra's hand at Old Trafford on Saturday.
