Steven Gerrard returns to Anfield: Sharon Davidovich's article ahead of Aston Villa's game against Liverpool (Sport1)
Steven Gerrard left Liverpool in May 2015 for the first time in his life. He then moved to the American Los Angeles Galaxy and a year later retired from active play. Unsurprisingly, he returned to Liverpool in 2017 as the youth team coach, but within a year came an opportunity to coach the Scottish Rangers and Liverpool's biggest icon in decades has taken the opportunity with both hands. About three years later he with a super surprising and impressive streak of victories over Celtic "at Old Firm", won his first championship of his career and thus paved his way back to the Premier League. But not to Liverpool.
Tomorrow (Saturday) Steven Gerrard will mark a full month as Aston Villa coach, and it will also be the day he for the first time in his life will face Liverpool. On the eve of the 16th round of the Premier League, Stevie G returns to Anfield with the aim of sabotaging Liverpool's championship battle and leading his side to a second straight and fourth win in their five games on the lines - losing only to Pep Guardiola's Manchester City and winning all other games.

The one who knows Gerard well is Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp. The German got to coach Gerrard in captain Anfield's last season, assisting him when he coached the youth team and now they are rivals. And yet, at the press conference ahead of tomorrow's meeting (Saturday, 5 p.m., Sports2), Klopp also made it clear that the day would come when he would be seated in his chair by Stevie G.
"Obviously he will coach Liverpool, I have no doubt about that," Klopp said. ? He can do it right now, but there are a lot of questions that Stephen also has to ask himself beforehand and I can not answer them, for example if he wants Liverpool to be his last team in his career. I'm sure it will happen and it will be good for all parties, the question is when ".
When Klopp was asked what would happen if Gerard and Aston Villa surprised him and his team, he replied: "He is a great guy and of course he will want to beat us and that's why they come. We shake hands before the game and during that we become rivals for everything - I remember celebrating like crazy with Dortmund Against Mainz and there is no reason why he should not behave in this way as well.
