Liverpool’s Daniel Sturridge: If I score a last minute goal against Chelsea I will go mad

Sturridge has found his niche at Anfield

Liverpool’s striker Daniel Sturridge has revealed that he could be fit for the game against Chelsea at the weekend and admitted that he may not be able to stop himself from celebrating should he score.

It was a game hailed as a title-decider and win for the Reds will take them eight points clear of Chelsea with just two games remaining, leaving just themselves and Manchester City to fight it out for the title.

Sturridge left Chelsea in January 2013 and the only thing that has stopped him from scoring at Liverpool are injuries. He has scored 34 goals in 46 games in all competitions and his goals have played a huge role in Liverpool’s resurgence back to the top of English football.

He missed the 3-2 win at Norwich City last weekend – Liverpool’s 11th in a row – but is hopeful that he will feature at Anfield on Sunday.

Sturridge said: “Hopefully this weekend I’ll be back.

“I’m not too sure if he [Brendan Rodgers] will play me or not. We’ll have to see. I would like to show respect to my former club.

“But if I were to come on and score in the last minute I’m going to be on a mad one, aren’t I?

“I don’t want to – but I don’t know if I could control myself if that happened.”
