Meanwhile, Jurgen Klopp’s men bounced back from last weekend’s disappointing defeat at Burnley with a 5-0 EFL Cup victory over Burton Albion in midweek, and are on offer at 2/1 (3.00) to come out on top here.

Sturridge struggled to make an impact from the wing in the 2-0 defeat against Burnley last weekend, and the England global felt that he would be most effective when playing in front of goal.
He added: “Of course it is more hard for me to play wide. If I am put in that position, I have to play there”.
Moving him to the right does not get the best out of his talents-he’s clearly not a natural winger and against Premier League opposition his goal threat will be lessened.
“You can’t play the same as you do as a centre-forward if you play wide”.
“So we needed to use this game and that’s what we did and it was better”. “It wasn’t a fixed position for him”.
“You just do things because you are used to doing it. There is absolutely no problem”.
“We have still to work on a lot of things”.
“I know him, we have tasks and there is no issue. It’s about asking a question, getting an answer and making a big deal of it or not thinking of it at all”.

“Of course he hasn’t”, Klopp added.
Speaking after that match, Sturridge indicated that he was finding it hard to play in a wide role rather than as a centre-forward, but any suggestion of disharmony has been dismissed by Klopp.
“Like I said, it’s not that you play there and wait for something to happen”. But you need to find rhythm.
“When Daniel for example plays as the No 9, in the centre, and just stays there – that makes no sense”.

“It is only a starting position for the next offensive move for my team. It’s simple football. We don’t have positions any more where we say “you play here all the time”.
