Sterling had sent a warning to his England teammate ahead of the game in what looks rather awkward now.
“I kind of know how Trent plays so I'm looking forward to it. We've played before with the national team during camps in his room," the Man City winger said, per the Premier League.
"I can't play FIFA on the TV so he wins every time! But when I've got this little set-up here, he's not beating me."
