Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says ex-Reds captain and Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard will take Sunday's game against Manchester City "100% serious".
Klopp's side are one point behind City going into the last game of the season.
Gerrard can help his former club win the Premier League title if his side can beat or draw at City and Liverpool beat Wolves.
"I can only understand these sorts of situations by thinking of myself in the role," said Klopp.
"If I would play a game and could help [former clubs Borussia] Dortmund or Mainz, it would mean for me an extra motivation.
