Sunderland wing-back Danny Rose is looking forward to today's clash with Liverpool.

Rose says the Black Cats will have to have their wits about them against a talented Liverpool outfit.

"There's quality all the way through their squad," he told safc.com.

"Luis Suarez is on fire while Raheem Sterling has had a great start to the season. They have some great players and play great football.

"My first game for Sunderland was against Liverpool and I remember them passing the ball really well.

"I'm looking forward to going up against Sterling again too because he was a handful when I played against him earlier in the season."
