Liverpool legend Steve McManaman expects a big boost when Daniel Sturridge returns to full fitness.
The 25-year-old has not featured since August and McManaman believes his return will offer the Reds a boost - though warned he will still require time to reach full match sharpness.
He told liverpoolfc.com: "Daniel Sturridge is hopefully going to be fit and raring to go [again soon], and you hope Liverpool can replicate the kind of form they displayed at Tottenham away when they won really easily against a good team.
"It'll have a positive impact because he's a very good footballer who scored lots of goals last year, but he'll need time to get himself fully fit and well."
