Daniel Sturridge on the Derby

“First and foremost I’m excited. Its my favourite game. I love it, I love that game. The feeling in the city is completely different when you play that game, the energy and everything. So I’m looking forward to it. In terms of whether I’m going to play or not that’s the manager’s decision but I am ready for whatever, ready for anything that the manager wants to do, I feel I’m ready to start. But it’s down to the manager to pick the team. I’ve had a week and a bit’s worth of training as well as the two games that I’ve come on and played a part, and looking forward to getting back into it and playing 90 minutes and performing as best as I can.”

Daniel Sturridge on what Liverpool will miss about Gerrard

“It’s hard to put your finger on one thing. First and foremost the way he plays, his passing, his leadership, he does everything, he can score goals, he can tackle he can do everything. Aside from that the leadership qualities in the dressing room, around the training ground, that respect for what he has done in the game its hard to find somebody who has got the record. There’s not many players out there that’s playing professionally right now that’s achieved what he’s achieved.”
