Liverpool captain Gerrard: Sterling form warrants World Cup spot

Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard says teammate Raheem Sterling deserves a place in England's World Cup squad.

Gerrard feels Sterling is sure to have caught the eye of England boss Roy Hodgson who will be mulling over the options for his squad ahead of the finals in Brazil.

"Raheem has been in great form over the last couple of months and I'm sure Roy is watching him very closely," Gerrard told the club's official website.

"The Arsenal game was an unbelievable performance from a guy of that age. I was just disappointed he didn't go on and get his hat-trick.

"His form of late has been sensational and if he continues that until the end of the season, we will see him at the World Cup."
