PREMIER - Aston Villa : Steven Gerrard's very strict diet

For his first on the bench at Aston Villa in early November, England coach Steven Gerrard won against Brighton, allowing the Villans to glean their first Premier League victory after five consecutive defeats. A new sign of life for the Birmingham club, currently 15th in the standings after 12 days, four points behind relegation first Burnley.

The former Glasgow Rangers coach has implemented several nutritional measures in his new code of conduct: indeed, according to The Telegraph, several sauces have been banned in the canteen of the Bodymoor Heath training center. He also banned soft drinks, sauces, puddings and hot chocolate; a strong decision of the legend of Liverpool to put his people back on the right track.
