Steven Gerrard admits his failure to win the Premier League title during his 17-year Liverpool career is his biggest regret.

The 34-year-old will play his final home game for the Reds on Saturday before he joins MLS side LA Galaxy in the summer.

Gerrard has won Champions League, UEFA Cup, FA Cup and League Cup medals during his long Liverpool career but failed to win the league crown, missing out on a clean sweep of domestic honours.

The Reds captain told BBC's Football Focus: "It is not the only regret, I think it is the biggest.

"I would love to say that I have got the full collection, it would be the icing on the cake."

Gerrard looked set to win the title under Brendan Rodgers last term but his costly slip in the final weeks of the season allowed Demba Ba in to score as Chelsea's victory at Anfield handed Manchester City the initiative in the title race.

A 3-3 draw at Crystal Palace 10 days later all-but ended Liverpool's title bid but the former England international said he wouldn't change his Anfield career for anything.

He added: "You are always going to have incredible moments and you are also going to have some cruel lows as well," said Gerrard.

"I also look at other FA Cup Finals that I have missed out on and the second Champions League Final in 2007.

"Nobody's journey ever goes smoothly, mine certainly hasn't, but I am certainly proud of it and I wouldn't change it for anything."
