Raheem Sterling has revealed that the best player he's played against is Chelsea winger Eden Hazard.

The Liverpool star, who is expected to play at Villa Park after missing the win against Sunderland while he was resting in Jamaica, told Sport magazine that the Belgian was "ridiculous".

When asked who was the toughest defender he'd faced, Sterling said: "Nah, that defender question has got me in trouble before. Eden Hazard’s the best player I’ve played against, though. He’s ridiculous."

Hazard has been in sensational form for the Blues this season, scoring eight goals and providing four assists for the Premier League leaders.

In a quirky interview, Sterling also revealed his most treasured possession was his "PlayStation 3... Sorry yeah, I meant my PS4. Well, PS4, three, two, one. All of them, really. I just play FIFA all the time, so my PlayStation’s my big thing."

Sterling also said his favourite film was Inside Man, while the funniest rumour he'd heard about himself was when it was reported he had up to eight kids.

"I don’t know where that stuff came from, but I’d love to meet the person who came up with it. It’s so random."

Liverpool face Aston Villa on Saturday.
