Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English), Brendan Rodgers (on Raheem Sterling):

"The kid's been fantastic wherever he has played this season - outstanding the other night - and we will just see what is in the best interests of the team."

SOUNDBITE: (English), Brendan Rodgers (on Alexis Sanchez being a transfer target for Liverpool before he joined Arsenal):

"All I know is he is a world class player. He was identified as someone to come in who would be perfect for us. But brilliant player, outstanding quality, even bigger work rate. So we know he will be a threat at the weekend."

SOUNDBITE: (English), Brendan Rodgers (on what a win will do for morale):

"Just internally it will continue our spirit and our focus. As I said, they are a top side and outstanding players. But for us it will be obviously good for confidence. But it will be a difficult game."
