Liverpool striker Sturridge credits Peters influence for form

Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge is adamant his form is down to working with sports shrink Steve Peters.

He insists work with Peters helped him get through early life on Merseyside as well as brining a new attitude towards injury recovery.

"It's those little one per cents, little things like recoveries and seeing someone like Steve Peters," Sturridge told liverpoolfc.com.

"I'd never seen anyone like him before, but seeing someone like him is another thing that helped. It was something the manager suggested I do. I wasn't really for it at the beginning but after a while I thought 'Why not? I'll give it a go' and it helped."
