LUIS SUAREZ is expected to be passed fit for Liverpool's Premier League clash at Queens Park Rangers on Sunday.

Brendan Rodgers revealed after Boxing Day's 3-1 defeat at Stoke that the Uruguayan was a doubt for the trip to Loftus Road after being hampered by an ankle injury in recent weeks.

However, Suarez has responded well to treatment and is set to line up against Harry Redknapp's bottom placed side.

Everyone else came through that painful setback at the Britannia Stadium unscathed as manager Rodgers plots an instant response in the capital.

Left-back Jose Enrique admits Liverpool have a point to prove in their final game of 2012 after paying the price for a poor performance against Stoke.

“We need to bounce back from that defeat and we need to go to QPR and win,” said Enrique.

“Every game in this league is difficult but you have to give 100% every time you play for this club and show character.

“Overall Stoke played better than us and we didn't deserve the three points. We need more experience and need to show more character in those type of games.

“You can see we have quality players and we have a good squad, but we need to fight for every point we play for if we want to be in the top four.

“We have to get a winning mentality going and we have to show what we are all about.”

Rodgers has already wrapped up a £12million deal for Chelsea striker Daniel Sturridge and Blackpool winger Tom Ince is expected to follow him to Anfield in January.

However, the manager has reiterated that there won't be major changes to his squad next month.

“We won't be overly busy in January but some reinforcements will be nice, just the addition of some firepower to help us at the top end of the field,” said Rodgers.

“There won't be a great deal of business done, we are probably just trying to get some of the business done which we hoped to do in the summer.

“The budget was going to be tight this year, for a number of reasons, but we will be doing something because it is the need of the group.

“From next season the purse strings should loosen a bit more but in terms of this season it was always on the understanding it was going to be tight in terms of finance.”

Meanwhile, Liverpool's winner at West Ham earlier this month has been awarded to Jonjo Shelvey.

It had initially gone down as a James Colins own goal but the Premier League's dubious goals panel has handed it to the Reds midfielder.
