Steven Gerrard: 'My job is to win games for Aston Villa' - but could he decide title race?

Steven Gerrard has all but steered Aston Villa to Premier League safety - and now could have a decisive say at the other end of the table as the title race reaches a thrilling conclusion.

Two of Villa's final four games are against the top two, starting with Tuesday's visit of his former club Liverpool (20:00 BST), who are chasing a historic quadruple, before taking his side to leaders Manchester City on 22 May, the final day of the Premier League season.

Gerrard was part of a Liverpool side who were three games from winning the title in 2014, only for his infamous slip to help Chelsea to victory at Anfield as City ended up finishing top instead.
