Sterling has seen so much pressure placed on his young shoulders this season and for the most part, has delivered admirably for his side.
Playing as a lone forward at times this term has not been ideal for the tricky winger but he has done a job. Playing him on the wing is the only way Brendan Rodgers will get the best from the England International and you have to assume that will be the case come the City clash.
Sterling will only improve with age and will want to show he is worth every penny of the rumoured new deal and can excel against the best in the league.
