Aston Villa won 7-2 in the same fixture last season (before VVD got injured). They spend big and are no mugs. They occupy the same position in the league this season and might yet even better it considering the numerous games in hand. But this time they won't be getting anything from this fixture. And the sole reason for that is Steven Gerrard.
The golden boy of English football will turn 42 later this month and his closest feeling to winning a Premier League trophy throughout his life was when he kissed the Old Trafford cameras.
During his playing days he used to do this when he was involved in title related games:
Integrity is not a word that exists in this bloke's dictionary. Just ask the poor DJ.
So how will he roll over now that his beloved Liverpool need the points? How different will his approach be to this game compared to when he faces City on the final day?
Will he field a weakened team? Will there be a slip or defensive errors from the Villa players? If Villa somehow still are in the game in the second half, will he get nervous and tweak the tactics to make it easier for Liverpool?
