Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers feels Danny Sturridge is inspired playing alongside Luis Suarez.

Rodgers admits that the form of Suarez is rubbing off on those around him, especially Sturridge.

"I think great players make others around them better," said Rodgers.

"It is that difference between good and great. You have great players like those two who give the team confidence and they also open up spaces for other and both are very talented.

"They are helping making other players better and that is what is making us, as a team, better.

"Luis (asked to play a wider role in recent matches) has shown the true team player he is; we just do what's best for the team and that is what is asked of all the players.

"Luis will always get himself in those goalscoring positions because he roams and arrives in those areas.

"Daniel is better through the middle because of his pace and pace really hurts teams.

"Both are outstanding finishers but both are not asked to do any more than the others and that is the key to our success so far."
