Liverpool forward Luis Suarez's unpredictability makes him a significant threat to Barclays Premier League defenders, according to first team coach Steve Clarke. [LNB]The Uruguay international has already shown in the short time since arriving at Anfield from Ajax in January that he will become a key figure. [LNB]And the 24-year-old's goal on Sunday demonstrated how he possesses the element of surprise when he beat Sunderland's Simon Mignolet from the tightest of angles with the goalkeeper expecting the player to cross the ball.[LNB] King Luis: Liverpool ace Suarez scored a stunning goal at Sunderland last week[LNB] Suarez was substituted in that game with what appeared to be a groin injury, which may be related to a back problem, and he has remained on Merseyside to receive treatment rather joining up with his international team-mates for matches against Estonia on Friday and the Republic of Ireland on Tuesday.[LNB] Clarke has been impressed with what the ?22.8million signing has brought to the side. [LNB]'Unpredictability is one of his biggest assets,' said the Scot, who only arrived at Anfield himself three weeks before Suarez moved from Ajax.

[LNB]'Defender's cannot over commit inside the box or they run the risk of giving away a penalty. [LNB]'It's a big, big asset for him and I think for defenders it is very difficult to play against.'[LNB] Kuyt to sign new Liverpool deal to help end Anfield's wait for a trophyLiverpool promote Comolli... but no announcement on role for DalglishHandy Andy and King Luis: Dalglish delighted with Carroll and SuarezAll the latest Liverpool FC news, features and opinion  [LNB]  Explore more:Places: Liverpool, Estonia, Republic of Ireland
