Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini has no doubt they offer Raheem Sterling the best platform to reach his potential.

Sterling faces former club Liverpool tonight.

Pellegrini said, "All I know is that playing here with David Silva, Sergio Aguero and Yaya Toure he will improve.

"He has very important potential as a young player.

"Raheem is young and must improve a lot in important things. It's important he can demonstrate this in every game, but I'm happy with the way he is progressing.

"He has a lot of years to keep working. He will be a very important player for City and also England."
