Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard is shaking up the club's menu.

The Telegraph says he has axed fizzy drinks, tomato sauce, puddings and hot chocolate at the club's training ground.

But Villa players will still be allowed a sweet treat every so often before matches when energy from carbohydrates is needed most.

The move follows a similar order by Antonio Conte when he took over at Tottenham.

The Italian disciplinarian got rid of ketchup and mayo at the Hotspur Way training ground as he demanded his tubby Spurs squad lose weight.
