Liverpool can make top four - Suarez

The Barcelona striker insists that his former club can return to European football's top table this season under the management of the ex-Borussia Dortmund boss
Former Liverpool star Luis Suarez is confident Jurgen Klopp can lead the Reds back into the Champions League in the 2016-17 season.

Liverpool last featured in European club football's elite competition in 2014-15, when they failed to qualify for the knockout stages from a group featuring Real Madrid, Basel and Ludogorets.

They had to settle for eighth place in the Premier League last term as they missed out on European football altogether, but Suarez feels his former team will soon be back at the highest level.

"The last few months, everybody saw a really good performance from Liverpool," the Barcelona attacker told the official Liverpool website.

"They had a chance to win the Europa League and in the Premier League they played really well.
"Now it's a new season and I think the manager will have confidence they can finish in the top four."
Suarez will meet the Reds on Saturday when Barcelona face Liverpool at Wembley and he is eagerly anticipating the encounter.
"It's a really nice moment for the supporters. I have some friends there and I think it's a really good moment to come back to play against Liverpool," the Uruguay international added.
"Everybody knows Liverpool is so important in my life, in my career, and my family as well. My second child was born there and I had a really good moment there. I think it's a nice moment for me."
