Jurgen Klopp’s side takes on the former Liverpool legend side in Aston Villa on Tuesday night next in the league after a disappointing loss against Tottenham on Saturday.
Even if he oversees a result that effectively destroys Liverpool’s Premier League dream, the ex-midfielder’s heritage with the Reds should not be wrecked.
However, Villa have only won two of their previous eight Premier League home games, and Liverpool are a force to be reckoned with.
Liverpool’s six-game winning streak in all competitions and 12-game winning streak at Anfield in the Premier League came to an end at the weekend, but they are still unbeaten in 16 domestic matches and have kept clean sheets in four of their past five away from home in the top tier.
Klopp and the scousers will undoubtedly recall the 7-2 humiliation ahead of Tuesday’s trip to Villa Park, but they have since won three in a straight against Villa in all competitions and will not be sympathetic to Gerrard as long as the quadruple dream remains alive.

Klopp has no further injury concerns, but he is likely to make some changes in the run-up to the FA Cup final, as Joe Gomez and Kostas Tsimikas vie for starts at full-back.
Socre Predictions
Klopp’s squad has been relentless in the league despite their blip against Tottenham and there is any footballing expert who wouldn’t predict a Liverpool win against a mediocre Villa side.
Aston Villa 0-2 Liverpool
