DANIEL STURRIDGE made an embarrassing gaffe on pundit duty for Sky Sports.
The former Man City and Liverpool star was on duty at the Etihad for Super Sunday, as his ex-clubs faced off against each other.

City trailed at the break 2-0, as presenter David Jones asked if he could see them getting back into the game.
He said: “They’ve been prying away and giving themselves opportunities.
“But when they’re getting crosses in the box, there’s not that presence in the box to get on the end of it.
“So, we might end up seeing Haaland at some stage in the game.”
Norwegian hotshot Erling Haaland – who Sturridge referred to – was deemed unfit to be included in City’s squad before the clash.
That prompted Sky Sports presenter David Jones to interrupt.
Jones said: “Not Haaland today because he’s, of course, missing. But maybe there might be one or two options they can turn to.”
Sturridge is used to getting some attention on punditry duty for Sky Sports.
On his debut in 2023, he showed his flamboyant side by singing an initiation song alongside Micah Richards and Roy Keane.
While back in August last year, he suffered a wardrobe malfunction when one of the buttons on a shirt had broken.
Without Haaland, Man City struggled to find the net in a one-sided contest.
The Reds took the lead in the 14th minute through Mo Salah.
Dominik Szoboszlai scored Liverpool’s second before half-time to give the away side a comfortable lead.
The home team toiled but hardly looked an attacking threat.
Liverpool’s win has given them an 11 point lead at the top, following second-placed Arsenal’s defeat to West Ham on Saturday.
