Manchester City attacker Raheem Sterling has suggested Liverpool's fans could play a huge part in his former club's Premier League title bid, adding that pressure from the Anfield faithful played a part in the Reds' collapse in 2014.

The England international played a key role in Liverpool's 2013/14 season, scoring nine goals and assisting seven as the Merseyside club finished second in the Premier League, despite leading second placed City by three points with three games of the season remaining.

Speaking to Sky Sports as quoted by the Mirror, Sterling recalled his time at Anfield and the impact of the pressure put upon him and his teammates from the Liverpool fans desperate to see their side lift their first league title since 1990.
