Aston Villa vs Liverpool live: Line-ups, start time and how to watch

Gerrard won the Champions League with Liverpool, a competition they have won six times. Liverpool have also won the top flight 19 times, the FA Cup seven times and the EFL Cup nine times.

But the 41-year-old believes Jurgen Klopp's current Liverpool side are the most enjoyable ever.

“I think to watch they are probably the best, because of the speed, the intensity and the mentality of this current group,” Gerrard said.

“But I say that without disrespecting previous successful Liverpool teams, because I grew up watching them, the European Cup winners, serial league title-winners, I grew up on all the DNA of that club.

“I’m well aware that they have had world-class players, managers and teams previously, but I think to watch – on the eye, because of the way the game has changed, it has gone quicker and faster – I think you’re probably watching the best Liverpool team there’s been.”
