Steven Gerrard has made a Liverpool-inspired decision at Aston Villa as he continues to strive for excellence in his new role as a Premier League manager.
The former Reds midfielder has enjoyed a promising start to life in the West Midlands, having earned four wins in eight matches during his tenure so far.
It was announced that Gerrard had banned players from chocolate, fizzy drinks and tomato ketchup upon his arrival at the club, and has now introduced his latest change.

According to BirminghamLive, Villa have promoted Liam Bramley as the club's new elite development coach - a role believed to have been brought in by Gerrard.
Bramley, who guided Villa's under-18s to FA Youth Cup glory over Liverpool in May, will now be responsible for bridging the gap between the club's academy and first-team.
This is a position Gerrard is all too familiar with, having working closely with Pep Lijnders in the same capacity during his stint as the Reds' under-18s coach.
Lijnders undertook this role in 2015, having spent the previous season as an under-16s coach at the Academy.
During his time in this newly-created position, the Dutchman helped individuals such as Ben Woodburn and Trent Alexander-Arnold make the first-team leap.
Now the assistant manager of the Reds, Lijnders' previous post was filled by Vitor Matos in October 2019.
Describing the importance of having a 'middleman' of this nature, Jurgen Klopp told liverpoolfc.com : "We've worked for a while on it. We had the idea that it makes real sense because we have so many outstanding, young boys.
"The situation is a little bit like this: if you are in pre-season, they are with us and we need them for training, for the games and all that stuff.
"But then the season starts and all the big guns come back and we don't want to give them the feeling they are now a bit further away again.
"So we thought it made sense that they really get their specific coach again what Pep did years ago when I came in. I loved the fact I got a sensational assistant manager, but we lost the development coach a little bit.
"We had to fill that void and we've done that with a really great guy, an outstanding coach. Young and experienced, you don't get that a lot. A kind of guy who is used to have six or seven sessions a day."
