Daniel Sturridge believes Liverpool are in better shape this season compared to last term.
Sturridge nodded home the winner in victory over Southampton yesterday.
Asked if Liverpool were stronger without Luis Suarez, Sturridge said: "I think so, with the players we have brought in. No disrespect to Luis - he's a great player and he'll be missed - but we move on from that.
"We have shown we can win games, score goals and defend as well. But with the little man (Sterling) and the other players producing the goods, we'll be okay."
