Daniel Sturridge and Mario Balotelli promise Liverpool fans strike partnership
DANIEL STURRIDGE and Mario Balotelli are ready to be reunited.
Sturridge and Balotelli have played just once together for Liverpool, a 3-0 win at Tottenham on the opening day of the season.
Sturridge has not played since September after a succession of injuries while Balotelli has struggled for form and fitness.
But the duo have signalled they are both close to returning to action and are keen to strike up a partnership.
