Liverpool striker Sturridge up for derby

Liverpool striker Danny Sturridge is excited about today's derby with Everton.

Sturridge is looking forward to the Merseyside derby and says that tensions have risen in the area between him and Everton supporting locals.

"There's no comparison [to this rivalry],' he said. 'I'm in a [supermarket] the other day - Tesco's - and the cashier says, 'I'm not going to serve you if you score.' And I say, 'You're joking, right?' and he says 'No.' It just shows they take it to the next level of seriousness when it comes to this game.

"Restaurant guys tell me they will not serve me food. Instead they will send me packing, to which I'm like, 'Fair play.' God willing, it's going to be red shirts that will be worn around the city the next day as Liverpool fans are proud of us getting a victory."
