"The best piece of advice I've been given is to live, eat and sleep football. It was great advice given to me by the manager, and it has helped me going forward," Sterling told LFC Xtra.

Sterling has struggled to match the form he displayed last season in this campaign, mirroring the decline of Liverpool's fortunes in the Premier League.
