Jurgen Klopp reveals he will watch Aston Villa a lot more now Steven Gerrard is manager there but admits 'sentiments have to be put aside' when Liverpool welcomes back its club legend and his team on December 11

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp admits he will 'watch Aston Villa games a bit closer' now after Steven Gerrard moved to the Midlands club last week.

Gerrard signed a long-term deal as Villa boss earlier this month after leaving Scottish Premier League champions Rangers, with the 41-year-old unveiled by the Premier League club via a press conference on Thursday.

The former Liverpool and England captain will make his return to Anfield as the visiting boss on December 11 and Klopp admitted he will support Gerrard at Villa - until that Premier League encounter.
