Daniel Sturridge has hinted that Liverpool is missing Luis Diaz following the team's third consecutive loss, falling to Chelsea on Saturday evening.

"When you look at Liverpool last year and how they used to press, I think arguably he was the one who would set the press in the front three. "I think Ekitike and Isak and Wirtz work hard, I'm not saying they don't.

Right now, I'm not sure the manager knows what he's going to do."

"I think today's the type of game you need a Wirtz," he said.
