BRENDAN RODGERS may claim that Liverpool are not feeling the pressure as they close in on their first league title in 24 years but you wouldn't have known it at training on Friday.

Star striker Luis Suarez and defender Martin Skrtel appeared to come to blows over a heated game of head tennis.
The spat shocked and divided players before teammates stepped in to separate the pair.
The squad was laughing and joking around, but Suarez could not see the funny side with the Uruguayan seemingly taking offence to Skrtel's approach.

There are suggestions that Suarez reacted badly to Skrtel using his arm to keep the ball in play and accused the Slovakian of not taking the drill seriously.
Suarez was backed up in the dispute by fellow South Americans Philippe Coutinho and Lucas Leiva before the pair clashed.
The bust up comes just days after Rodgers hailed Suarez's new found maturity this season.
He said: "He is a brilliant talent. I think the supporters have seen him mature over the course of the last season.

"I think he was in a real low moment after that game (against Chelsea last year) but he has gone away and probably looked in the mirror and reflected on himself because he is not that type of guy and it probably just spilled over.
"He is a really intelligent man who fits the values of this club, which is all about humility, class and he has all of that.
"He is a sheer winner and that probably overspilled last year, but his development over the last year has been remarkable both on and off the field and Liverpool have benefited from that.
"For me he is the consistently outstanding player over the course of the last year."
Liverpool
