Suarez achieved global notoriety at the last World Cup in South Africa when his goal-line handball denied Ghana a quarter-final victory and helped Uruguay through to the last four.
Four years on, the 27-year-old is battling to overcome a knee injury in time to face England in a pivotal World Cup Group D clash in Sao Paulo, in which defeat for either side could spell elimination.
Sturridge and Suarez enjoyed a remarkably fruitful partnership last season, amassing 52 goals as Liverpool narrowly missed out on a first English league title since 1990, but Sturridge says that following his team-mate's example only goes so far.
"I'm prepared to do anything, and I'm talking anything. I'm being serious. It's do or die.

"I'm not saying I'm going to dive or do anything that's not within the laws of the game, but I will do anything -- like my team-mates -- to win this game.
"I will stay on my feet. I will never dive on purpose. I'm not going to handball a goal shot, because it's not in my nature."
Sturridge also revealed that he had not exchanged any text messages with Suarez since the start of the World Cup.
"It doesn't happen at home, so it won't happen when I'm here," he explained.
"I wouldn't text him to ask him how he is, because he's a Uruguay player and wouldn't want to tell me. That's for his country to worry about.
