Tottenham coach Kevin Bond expects to face a Luis Suarez-inspired Liverpool tonight.

Liverpool's players, management and fans have stood firmly by Suarez throughout the affair, and Spurs assistant manager Bond expects the former Ajax man to be given a rapturous reception.

"It will give them a lift having Suarez back," Bond said. "The crowd will be rooting for him hugely.

"The introduction of Suarez on a night match at Anfield will make Liverpool a real tough nut to crack.

"He's a fantastic player and has been a fantastic signing for Liverpool.

"Maybe a couple of results have gone against them in his absence but they've just had three big wins without him and now they've got him back as well."
