Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool and Steven Gerrard’s Aston Villa will face each other at Anfield in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

This is the first time that Gerrard will return to Anfield as an opposition manager.

The Liverpool legend was recently appointed as the manager of Villa.

Gerrard left Scottish Premiership club Rangers to make the switch to Villa.

The Englishman guided Rangers to the league title ahead of Celtic last season.

The Villans are doing well at the moment, and things are looking up for the Premier League club.

However, in our opinion, Liverpool will head into the match against Villa as the favourites.

The Reds have the better team, and they are in great form as well at the moment.

Moreover, there is the Anfield crowd.

Yes, the Liverpool fans inside the stadium today will give Gerrard a hero’s welcome, but they will want the Reds to win.

This is how Liverpool and Aston Villa will line up at Anfield in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon:
