The Big Friday Premier League Quiz

Steven Gerrard can expect a rapturous reception when he takes his Aston Villa side to Liverpool on Saturday, and Wolves will attempt to halt Manchester City’s winning Premier League run.

Gerrard would be forgiven for going into the wrong changing room when he returns to Anfield, where he earned legendary status during an outstanding career.

The second-placed Reds have won six consecutive games in all competitions, while leaders City had reeled off seven victories in a row before they were beaten by RB Leipzig in the Champions League on Tuesday.
