Ex-Liverpool midfielder Murphy convinced of top four tilt

Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy believes his former club can crack the top four this season.

Murphy says the key will be young attackers Philippe Coutinho and Danny Sturridge.

He told talkSPORT: "Sturridge, for me, just seems to get better. It's all about confidence and he doesn't lack in that area. He shoots from anywhere, he's got skill to beat people and Stoke couldn't handle him.

"If they can keep those two [Coutinho and Sturridge] fit, I think Liverpool have got a real chance of a top-four finish."
