Liverpool striker Danny Sturridge is convinced he and Mario Balotelli can form a successful pairing. Sturridge made his first Premier League start since August in Liverpool's 3-2 win against top-four rivals Tottenham on Tuesday night, with Balotelli scoring the winner.
Sturridge said: "He's been waiting for a while to break his duck and been working very hard in training, and now he has scored one in the league I am sure things will start to go his way now.
"For me it's always about trying to help players who are here, not just Mario, but all the boys who are at the club. It's not easy to settle into a new team, a new area, a new lifestyle, with different people around you and so on and so forth.
"People don't ever take that into account. I just try to do my bit, although I'm not taking any credit for him scoring - I'm just happy he did."
