Jurgen Klopp wishing Gerrard was playing for Villa

Liverpool need a favour from Steven Gerrard's Aston Villa to win the Premier League title on Sunday

Steven Gerrard can help Liverpool win the title if Aston Villa take points from Man City

Jurgen Klopp has said he'd feel 'extra motivation' if he was Steven Gerrard ahead of Villa's Premier  League clash with Manchester City.

The Liverpool manager expects the former Liverpool skipper's history with the Reds to be the goad to helping their second-place side win the top-flight title on Sunday.

Only one point seperates City and Liverpool and if Gerrard's Aston Villa take points from the Mancs, and Liverpool beat Wolves, the Premier League crown will go to Anfield and complete the third leg of the Reds' quadruple attempt.

"I can understand these situations by imagining myself in that role,’ said Liverpool manager Klopp."

"If I was doing a game where I could help Borussia Dortmund or Mainz, it would mean extra motivation for me.

"We are all human, Stevie will take it 100 per cent seriously I’m sure without me calling him. I don’t have to — probably the rest of the club did it already!"
