Liverpool legend Rush backing Sturridge to hit 20 goals

Liverpool legend Ian Rush feels Danny Sturridge can hit 20 goals this season.

The England forward has already netted seven in eight Barclays Premier League games this season.

"Daniel has come to Liverpool and Brendan Rodgers has given him so much confidence," Rush told the Liverpool Echo.

"He always had potential. We always knew that he was a good player; otherwise you don't play for Manchester City and Chelsea.

"Every time he plays he looks like he is going to score. And he excites people when he's on the pitch.

"Daniel has got to be looking for between 20 and 30 goals this season. And I think him playing regularly for England is also going to help him for Liverpool."
