Suarez set for hot reception

London - Controversy stalks Luis Suarez more than any English Premier League player, and the Liverpool striker will again be under the spotlight in Sunday's high-profile match against fierce rivals Manchester United.

The Uruguay international has 15 goals in the league, second only to United's Robin van Persie, but negative headlines are never far away.

Often criticised for his theatrical dives, Suarez stirred up more furore last Sunday by using his hand to score what proved to be the winning goal in an FA Cup match.

Now, Suarez returns to Old Trafford for the first time since snubbing a pre-match handshake with United defender Patrice Evra, reigniting a drawn-out racism-related feud and ensuring he will receive a hot reception this weekend.
