Liverpool vs Aston Villa:. Klopp dares Gerrard at Anfield

Aston Villa boss, Steven Gerrard, says they'll aim to attack Liverpool today.

Gerrard was asked about Villa's style of play and how they can cause Liverpool problems.

“We're at our best when we play with controlled aggression and we're on the front foot," he said.

“At this level, if you're passive in any area of the pitch, you can be punished quickly.

“We're a good team, we've got top players, we're a threat and we want to make it as difficult as we can for Liverpool."

Gerrard says he will just try and get the right result for Villa upon his return to Anfield.

“I really respect and understand all the noise around the game for obvious reasons.

“The noise is for other people to get excited about. For me, it's about preparing the team in the best way I can, to try and get a positive result for Aston Villa.

“For everyone else, it's a massive occasion. For me, it's three points, it's a big game of football and it's 90 minutes that we need to focus on."

“If I'm on the bus, heading back down the M6 towards Birmingham and I'm not the most popular at Anfield, so be it."
