Joe Hart believes that England can use the knowledge of their Liverpool stars to try to stop Uruguay's Luis Suarez at the World Cup.

England goalkeeper Joe Hart believes that the Liverpool contingent in the team can help stop Luis Suarez should they face the striker against Uruguay in the World Cup.

The Three Lions will meet the South American side in their second Group D match next Thursday, but Suarez's fitness has been a concern leading up to the game following knee surgery.

Should England go head to head with the forward, who scored 31 Premier League goals for Liverpool last season, Hart believes that Steven Gerrard, Jordan Henderson, Raheem Sterling, Glen Johnson and Daniel Sturridge can give some insight on their club teammate.

"The fact we know Suarez means we know that he'll cause trouble for us," Hart told reporters. "There'll be some familiarity, and the Liverpool players will know him a lot better. I'm sure they'll give us their input on the different ways of stopping him."

England will get their campaign in Brazil underway against Italy in Manaus on Saturday.
