Steven Gerrard and Brendan Rodgers are set to lock horns on Sunday in a tie that has been dubbed as 'El Sackio' with both Aston Villa and Leicester City faring poorly so far this season.
The Foxes take on the Villans in a fixture that, generally speaking, has absolutely no bearing on proceedings in Scottish football in general. A bottom-of-the-table clash in England should provoke interest south of the border for two teams who quite frankly should not be fighting a relegation battle with the talent at their disposal.
But with the pair struggling, it has sparked tensions going into Sunday's fixture - and fans north of the English-Scottish border have sat up to take note. Of course, Rodgers and Gerrard both had brilliant spells in Glasgow, albeit at different teams with Celtic and Rangers. Both led their respective clubs to 'invincible' seasons. Rodgers won more trophies at Celtic including a double treble which of course set the Hoops on their way to the infamous 'quadruple treble'. Meanwhile, Gerrard took over Rangers in a worse state and although he didn't win as many honours, put the Blues back on the map again with their first title in over a decade, alongside strong European showings.
