Steven Gerrard is insistent that Aston Villa’s final day clash with Manchester City holds no extra significance, despite the chance to help Liverpool win the Premier League trophy.
The Reds legend, now in the top job at Villa Park, knows that if his charges can upset the odds and get a result at the Etihad, his old side could snatch the title in dramatic fashion. It’s a trophy which infamously eluded Gerrard during his stunning Anfield playing career, but his full focus is getting a result for his current side and not his former one.
“We’ll go out at the weekend and give it everything we’ve got to try and get points for Aston Villa and our supporters,” he explained. “If that inevitably helps Liverpool, fantastic. But my priority is to try and get points for Aston Villa."
