As it has been made clear by the news coming out of the English camp, Daniel Sturridge is out for atleast for 3 weeks and is facing his fight against time to be fit in time to take part in the first Merseyside derby of this season at Goodison Park. As it has also been made clear last season that Liverpool play best when they play with 2 strikers up-front, manager Brendan Rodgers might be facing a difficult task in order to choose that who should pair up-front with the Italian Balotelli.

Both Fabio Borini and Rickie Lambert had good seasons playing for mid-table sides last season and in comparison with each other, it was the Englishman that has the upper hand in terms of goals. For a team that scored 54 goals last season, Rickie Lambert proved to be fru

itful as the current Reds striker managed a decent 13 goals last season for the Saints.
