Liverpool hero Danny Murphy expects Daniel Sturridge to be sold this year.

The England international has started just five Premier League games this season.

Murphy told talkSPORT: “I can't see why Liverpool would let him go now, and I don't think they will, but in the summer I think he'll definitely be gone.

“He's too good a footballer not to be starting week in, week out.

“There's no doubt when he plays and when he starts he is a match-winner. He has that wonderful ability to create space where there isn't any with his great feet.

“He's got a confidence and arrogance which is rare - he plays the same whether he's scored ten in ten or none in ten. He still tries the same shots, the same skills and he has complete belief in his own ability.

“The reason he doesn't start we all know, he doesn't press and work as hard as Klopp expects. It's very simple."
