Top 10 Premier League Strike Partnerships
8. Sturridge and Suarez
Like we said these days its rare you see a formidable strike partnership in the Premier League as many teams have drifted away from the classic 4-4-2 formation, but during the 2013/14 season we saw a partnership that took the Premier League by storm and this was the strike partnership of former Chelsea player Daniel Sturridge and Luis Suarez. This combination was the reason Liverpool were in the title race until the end of the season, Luis Suarez managed to score a remarkable 31 goals in 33 games for Liverpool despite missing 5 games in the Premier League due to a 10 march ban that was handed to him after sinking his teeth in Chelsea’s Branislav Ivanovic‘s hand, Daniel Sturridge managed to score 20 Premier League and got himself a number of assists.
It so unfortunate that Luis Suarez joined Barcelona the following season for £75 million, that transfer led to the downfall of Liverpool as Daniel Sturridge and Mario Balotelli failed to deliver last season, let’s see if they will bring the goals in the start of the new season.
