Steven Gerrard has spoken about his tomorrow's return to Anfield in his pre-match press conference.
Speaking in the interview, the Aston Villa boss has admitted he's going there 'to win' by giving up on his hero status.
“The noise is for other people to get excited about, for me it’s about preparing the team in the best way I can to try and get a positive result for Aston Villa,” Gerrard said.
“Everyone in that stadium will know me well enough to know what I’m about and what I’m going to Anfield for.
“I’m going back to a club where I spent many years and it brings a smile to my face for a couple of reasons.
The Reds' legend also added that although Liverpool is his childhood team, trying to win the game is his 'only focus'.
“One, I’ve got a good relationship with a lot of people at the club. I had a fantastic time there, a really good journey, I’m a local boy. It was the team I supported growing up and I will always support that team.
“But at the same time it brings a smile to my face because I’ve got the opportunity to go there and compete against a good team and a good manager and try to win the game. That’s my only focus.
