Upon being presented with his Player of the Month award at Melwood, Sturridge told Liverpoolfc.com: “It’s good, it’s a good achievement. It was a good month for myself, I felt like I contributed to the team.

“I feel like we didn’t get all the results we would’ve liked to have got, but it was a decent month.”

When asked what his favourite moment of the month was, it came as little surprise when he chose his late strike against his former club.

“Yeah, I think probably with the stage of the game and the time that it was,” the England international said.

“It was a game where we kind of wanted to get a point at least, and it felt as if we deserved it, so it was good to contribute and help the team get a point which I think we deserved.”

When asked about the season ahead, Sturridge was positive and highlighted the strength in depth as their key for success.

The No.15 continued: “Of course. We’ve got a very strong squad, every position from back to front, so as long as we all keep pushing ourselves in training and giving the manager opportunities to choose whichever team is necessary depending on the opposition, it’s important for us.

“I think that over the course of the season, the strength in depth is what’s going to allow us to be successful.”
