Sturridge admits he is unfamiliar with Beşiktaş [divider]

Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge admitted that he is unfamiliar with Beşiktaş but has been watching video footage to study his opposition ahead of the Europa League Round of 32 first-leg match.

“I know Besiktas are a good side from what I have watched in videos. They’re not a team that I see every week. So I’d be lying if I said I knew everything about them,” Sturridge was quoted as saying on the official Liverpool website.
