Raheem Sterling admits the departures of Luis Suarez and Steven Gerrard have unsettled him at Liverpool. Sterling - himself at the centre of a contract wrangle - believes that the departures of such players has had an adverse effect on this Liverpool side.

"You really want to be working with world-class players day in, day out," Sterling told the BBC.

"It's obviously left a little dent, these two world-class superstars leaving."
