Luis Suarez admits he would repeat his World Cup handball to help Liverpool beat Everton in their FA Cup semi-final.
The Uruguayan stopped the ball on the line, earning a red card in the process, to help his side beat Ghana in the quarter-finals in South Africa in 2010.
The controversial forward claims he would do the same if it helped Liverpool overcome local rivals Everton at Wembley.
"The sacrifice I made was because it was so important for Uruguay to make the semi-finals," Suarez is quoted as saying in The Sun. "Now I want to win this semi-final."
"It will take an enormous effort but I am dedicated to the team. If I am obliged to stop a ball in the last minute and we win, then I will repeat the action.
"Success for Liverpool is more important to me than anything else. But I do hope there is no drama like this for me."
Suarez, who is expected to start in attack after being rested for the midweek win over Blackburn, has called on Reds boss Kenny Dalglish to pair him with Andy Carroll up front so they can shoot down Everton.
"The manager has not decided on the team yet but I believe if I do play alongside Andy Carroll we will generate a lot of danger," added Suarez. "We haven't functioned 100 per cent together this season but now is the moment to change the situation.
"Andy got the winner at Blackburn on Tuesday and is happy about that. And that win has boosted our morale for the derby."
