Liverpool's Daniel Sturridge must improve work rate - Graeme Souness

Liverpool legend Graeme Souness says Daniel Sturridge's work rate is the reason why he has not always been a regular in Jurgen Klopp's starting XI this season.

Sturridge scored twice as Liverpool beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 in the EFL Cup fourth round on Tuesday but has often been limited to a place on the bench in the Premier League, starting just four games in the division this term.

While Souness was impressed by Sturridge's performance against Spurs, he says the England international needs to improve his all-round game if he wants to feature more regularly for the Reds.
