Jurgen Klopp’s side are just a point behind City ahead of welcoming Wolves to Merseyside.
Should Liverpool win and Pep Guardiola’s men drop points, the silverware will be hoisted aloft by Jordan Henderson at Anfield for a second time in three years.
Gerrard stressed he wants to leave ‘no stone unturned’ as Villa look to finish in the top half of the table - and that would mean doing the Reds a huge favour against City.
