Klopp details Gerrard chat after Liverpool beat Aston Villa
Aston Villa have been in impressive form since Steven Gerrard took over as boss in November. The former Liverpool midfielder took the helm at Villa Park after Dean Smith was given his marching orders following a run of five consecutive Premier League losses, and is now drawing up plans for the upcoming January transfer window.

The England international cemented his place as Virgil van Dijk’s preferred partner during the Reds’ title-winning 2019/20 campaign.
Gomez forced his way into the side midway through the season and missed just one match between the start of December and the end of the season.
He began the last campaign at the heart of the Liverpool defence but saw his season come to a premature end in November after he sustained a serious knee injury during an England training session.
Gomez returned to full fitness at the start of this season but has fallen down the pecking order at Anfield.
He now finds himself behind Joel Matip and Ibrahima Konate and his future at the club has been cast into doubt.

Gomez was enjoying regular game time for England before his injury but hasn’t appeared for his country since returning to action.
And he may be left with no choice but to depart the north west to get his career back on track, though Calciomercato say Liverpool will not let Gomez leave.
Earlier this week, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp addressed the defender's situation at Anfield.
“It was obviously not the best year for Joe, with the injury then coming back and having another injury, because that’s how it can go,” the German told reporters.
