Glen on star duo return

Glen Johnson believes the return of duo Joe Cole and Dirk Kuyt to Barclays Premier League action will soon see Liverpool get back to their best and climb the table.

Dutch star Kuyt is progressing well after his shoulder injury, while Cole will play his first top-flight game at Anfield against Sunderland after his first one against Arsenal ended with a red card.

Johnson insists confidence remains high in the camp and claims the pair will give Roy Hodgson's side a big boost.

"Joe has settled in really well here," Johnson told Liverpoolfc.tv.

"I have known Joe for a few years now and he is enjoying himself. I'm sure he will be a great player for us.

"It's great news that Dirk will be back soon because he is a fantastic player for us who always works his socks off.

"He plays in any position for us and the sooner he is back the better.

"He pops up with some important goals. I know he prefers to play as a striker but he does a good job for us on the right and works hard for the team.

"Some people say he doesn't score a lot of goals but people forget he plays on the right for us so it's a catch 22 situation."
