Jurgen Klopp has guided Steven Gerrard on a coaching journey - from offering a job in Liverpool's youth-team to congratulatory texts - but now master faces apprentice as Aston Villa boss returns to Anfield tomorrow

Five months after leaving Liverpool for LA, you could have forgiven Steven Gerrard for a sense of regret after Jurgen Klopp's appointment as boss.

The Reds legend, who won it all bar the Premier League during 17 years in the first-team, has since said he'd have stayed on for one more year just to play for Klopp. As it happens, his invitation back to Melwood would come sooner than he thought.

Keen to maintain fitness in the MLS off-season, Gerrard attended training under Klopp just over a month after the German took over.
