Sturridge made his first start in two months against Aston Villa in February Hes looking sharp and strong. Hes always been a hard worker, Ive known him from previous England camps and hes always got his head down and working hard, which is no different to how he is now.Hes been battling away, and hopefully its time for a bit of luck on his side and he can stay injury free.Caulker also told Sky Sports News HQ that he believes Sturridge will be crucial for the side in their season run-in.Hes one of our best players, and hes proved that since he came straight back in with a goal against Aston Villa. Im sure theres many more exciting things to come from him until the end of the season. Steven Caulker is ineligble for Sundays Capital One Cup final While Sturridge can look forward to the prospect of a cup win on Sunday, one player that cant is Caulker himself, having played for Southampton in a 6-1 defeat to his current employers in December.Its a different (build-up), but nonetheless theres still great excitement around the city and Im sure there will be in the changing room in the build-up to the game, Caulker added.So its great to be part of it and to see those scenes in the semi-final at Anfield was quite breath taking. Sturridge beats Caulker to the ball to score in Liverpools 6-1 win over Southampton in December Im well aware of how good this team can be, I felt the full force of them that day and if the boys can put a performance on like that at the weekend, they have a great chance of winning.Also See:Barnes & Goater Q&ALiverpools League Cup winsToure to fight for new contractCoutinho improving under KloppKent Tekulve Jersey .ca NFL Power Rankings, overtaking the Denver Broncos and remaining ahead of NFC competition San Francisco, Carolina and New Orleans.
