Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is delighted to see Steven Gerrard entering new contract talks.

The news is a boost for Liverpool ahead of tomorrow's Merseyside derby.

Rodgers said: "Stevie is England captain, he's 32 and an iconic figure at the club who has been remarkable for me this season.

"He's so humble and always puts the club first. I'd envisage him being here for a good few years yet."
