RW – Raheem Sterling
It has been a similar and more successful story with Sterling, with the 19-year-old going from talented but erratic winger to established attacking midfielder with bags of goals and assists in his repertoire.
ST – Mario Balotelli
With Sturridge sidelined for the foreseeable future it is a chance for new £16m signing Balotelli to prove he has the class and talent to be a real success in English football.
LW – Adam Lallana
Completing a front three is another new face who as previously mentioned has failed to make his debut for the Merseyside outfit due to a knee injury and will be looking to establish himself quickly.
