Stoke City boss Mark Hughes insists they won't show mercy to struggling Liverpool today.
A run of four straight defeats this month - including three in the Barclays Premier League - was finally ended with Wednesday's 2-2 draw in the Champions League at Bulgarian side Ludogorets.
"When people sense there is a little bit of pressure building then everybody jumps on the bandwagon and tries to add to it, which is unfair," Hughes said.
"But that happens to all of us. It's not something Brendan is unaware of. He understands how it works.
"But when you lose the services of two strikers such as Suarez and Sturridge, then it's going to impact on you.
"There were only three players in the Premier League last season who scored more than 20 goals, and Liverpool had two of them.
"So that shows where their season was built - on the back of two outstanding strikers.
"They haven't had their services this year so it's going to take a big part of their game away from them."
