Ironically it was the England international's substitution which allowed Balotelli to come off the bench and grab the winner - his first Premier League goal for the club - against Tottenham.
However, in the reverse fixture on August 31, Sturridge's last start prior to Tuesday's outing at Anfield, the pair played together and looked like they could become a useful strike pairing.
Sturridge's five-month lay-off with a thigh injury did not help his team-mate, whose form plummeted so badly he could not get in the squad for three matches ahead of the visit of Spurs.
