A source close to Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard suggest that Gerrard will be ready for the Premier League opener on sunday against Tottenham.

29-year-old Gerrard was ruled out of England’s friendly against Holland with a slight groin strain, but trained with the Three Lions earlier this week. However, Steven Gerrard is desperate not to miss out on the chance to get the club’s title charge off to a flying start.

It will be the sixth successive campaign Liverpool have started away from home.

“I don’t think Rafa’s ever had a home game to start the season in all his time at the club,” Gerrard said.

“But I think that if you take a step back and look at it in detail, there are benefits to beginning the season away from home. If you can achieve three points you’ve then got two games to come in front of your own supporters. The start to the season’s always crucial because you can build momentum quickly”.

“They’re all tough games, but if we could get three points from each of the first three games, then that would be us off to a flier and that will be our intention.”
