Crystal Palace defender Damien Delaney feels his game benefitted from an afternoon facing Liverpool pair Danny Sturridge and Luis Suarez.
Palace's 3-1 Premier League defeat to the Reds at Anfield saw Delaney test himself against arguably the most in-form strike-force in English football.
"Last Saturday, I faced probably the best strike-partnership in the Premier League at the minute. That's probably as good as it gets with those two," Delaney said.
"You learn something after that game - I'm a better player today than I was before that game. Those two, the form they are in, were pretty exceptional."
