Daniel Sturridge is of the opinion that the result of Liverpool’s crunch game with Manchester United on Sunday will not determine the outcome of his side’s Premier League aspirations.
The Reds are currently second in the league standings with 59 points from 28 games, seven points adrift of first-placed Chelsea, who have played a game more.

But with nine Premier League fixtures still remaining in the season for Liverpool after the showdown at Old Trafford, Sturridge believes the Premier League title race will be far from over after the Manchester United game.
The England international, who feels Chelsea and Manchester City are favourites to lift the title this term, however, wants the Merseyside giants to come out with a positive result against David Moyes’ side.

"To be honest there are so many games left. We have got Chelsea and Manchester City at home, we have got Tottenham at home”, Sturridge was quoted as saying by ITV.
“We have got big games regardless of the Manchester United result, of course we want to do as well as we can in every single game and get maximum points if we can but it is important we keep playing the football we do.
"I don't think winning at the weekend is going to change anything in regards to the title race, we are still four points behind and there are still teams ahead of us.
"Chelsea and Manchester City, if they win their games in hand, are the favourites for me so I would just say that we are looking to play our football."
Sturridge was the difference between the teams in the corresponding fixture at Anfield in September which Liverpool won 1-0.
