Gerrard favourite for vacant Leeds job
Liverpool icon Steven Gerrard is the front-runner to take over from Sam Allardyce at Leeds United.
The Whites appointed “Big Sam” with four fixtures remaining in a desperate attempt to retain their Premier League status. However, the gamble had little impact as Allardyce failed to win a game and Leeds were doomed to the Championship on the final day.
BetVictor makes former Liverpool captain Gerrard the 2/1 favourite to become the next Leeds boss. The Reds legend has been out of work since his Aston Villa sacking in October.

Fresh VAR figures reveal harsh Liverpool truth
Liverpool have been named as one of the top three clubs in the Premier League to benefit from VAR decisions throughout the course of the 2022/23 campaign.
Since 2019, the English top-flight's referees have been able to utilise video technology for the purpose of reaching correct decisions. Whilst that is the case in the most part, PGMOL and its officials are under more scrutiny than ever to carry out their roles as quickly and effectively as possible in order to come to the correct conclusions.
Now the season has ended, the total number of decisions for and against each club have been compiled by ESPN in order to produce an VAR net score table. Liverpoolhave found themselves joint-second on the list, equal with Fulham with a net score of five, and trailing only Brentford.
Liverpool's score came as a result of 13 overturned calls split across their 38 fixtures - eight in their favour and five against.
