Jobi McAnuff has stated his belief that Luis Suarez does dive but the Reading captain thinks referees are aware of the striker's reputation.
McAnuff was speaking ahead of his side's trip to Anfield, and the 30-year-old midfielder admits that his team mates must be careful when the Uruguayan gets into the penalty area.
"It's like any player, especially in the box you have to be careful - probably more so with him but I'm sure it's something the officials are wary of," McAnuff told The Sun.
"There have been some instances with him, to be fair, that have been penalties which he hasn't got. But, of course, on the other hand there are the instances that were dives.
"I think that was the case in the last game when there was no one anywhere near him."
Suarez was criticised by Stoke manager Tony Pulis for a dive when his side drew 0-0 at Anfield on October 7, and the striker was booked for simulation against Sunderland last month.

McAnuff says his team mates should b careful when suarez is in their box I wouldn't worry short of pulling out a gun and shooting him he ain't ever going to get a decision no matter how nailed on it maybe
