Daniel Sturridge confident ahead of UAE match

Sturridge expects Team GB to beat UAE

Team GB striker Daniel Sturridge has insisted that Team GB will come out on top in their all-important clash with the United Arab Emirates.

Team GB were held to a 1-1 draw with Senegal on Thursday night, leaving them in need of at least four points from their remaining two matches to qualify for the quarter-finals.

Sturridge told BBC Sport: "It is a big game but we are used to it.

"There were always going to be nerves in the first game but we will go about our business and do what we do best."

Uruguay lead the group after they came from behind to beat the United Arab Emirates 2-1 on Thursday.
