Football Tonight: Daniel Sturridge and Luis Suarez have ALREADY broken the Premier League record for the most profitable strike partnership in a 38-game season - and they still have five games to play. Before this season the best total in a 20-team campaign came from Sunderland duo Niall Quinn and Kevin Phillips, who scored 44 goals between them in 1999/2000 - but Sturridge and Suarez have already gone five goals clear of that record. They are also seven goals better than the previous best Liverpool strike partnership in the Premier League - Stan Collymore and Robbie Fowler scored 42 goals between them in 1995/96. However, the SAS remain six goals shy of the all-time Premier League record, which was set by Newcastle pair Peter Beardsley and Andrew Cole in 1993/94. They scored 55 goals that term - but it was a 42-game season so they had four extra matches to do it in! NOTES- 1993/94* Beardsley/ Andrew Cole- 55 goals 1999/00 Quinn/Phillips - 44 goals 1995/96 Collymore/ Robbie Fowler- 42 goals 1996/97 Les Ferdinand/ Alan Shearer- 41 goals 2009/10 Nicolas Anelka/ Drogba- 40 goals 2001/02 Solskjaer/ Nistelrooy- 40 goals 1999/00 Andrew Cole/ Dwight Yorke- 39 goals 1993/94* Campbell/ Wright- 38 goals 2009/10 Berbatov/ Rooney- 38 goals 2012/13 Rooney/ van Persie- 38 goals
