The Reds have completely turned around their woeful start to the campaign, with last weekend's thrilling 3-2 win over high-flying Tottenham leaving them two points behind fifth-placed Arsenal, who have a game in hand.

The Merseysiders travel to St Mary's on Saturday to take on Southampton, and Sturridge, who returned from two matches out with a thigh strain against Spurs, is hoping for a strong run-in to the campaign from the Merseysiders.

"My fitness is fine," the 23-year-old told his club's official website. "When I came back for the Tottenham game I trained for a couple of days prior to that. I didn't feel as sharp as I could have.

"I'm not making excuses for not performing as well as I'd have liked to have done. I'm glad the team won and I was happy to help the team. We've got nine games left and it's nine cup finals in my opinion. I'm hoping to remain fit and God willing I can for those nine games."
