Steven Gerrard says he is disappointed by questions over his integrity as he prepares to take Aston Villa to Manchester City on Sunday for a pivotal game in the Premier League title race.
While Gerrard's Villa are aiming to finish their season on a high with victory at the current champions, the ex-Liverpool's captain's former side host Wolves and are looking to be crowned themselves for a 20th time.
Victory for Jurgen Klopp's men at Anfield will see them win the title if City don't beat their visitors and Gerrard's team selection was the subject of interest on Thursday night when he left out Philippe Coutinho and Danny Ings at home to Burnley in a 1-1 draw.
