Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard is due to stand trial charged in connection with a fight at a Merseyside nightclub last year.

The 29-year-old, who will appear at Liverpool Crown Court with six others, denies a charge of affray relating to the incident at Southport's Lounge Inn.

Mr Gerrard, from Formby, Merseyside, had been celebrating Liverpool's 5-1 win over Newcastle United.

The other defendants include Accrington Stanley goalkeeper Ian Dunbavin, 28, of Guildford Road, Southport and Accrington midfielder Robert Grant, 18, of Enstone Avenue, Litherland.

Four men from Huyton, Merseyside, are also charged. They are: John McGrattan, 33, of Rimmer Avenue; Paul McGrattan, 31, of Linden Drive; John Doran, 29, of Woodlands Road; Ian Smith, 19, of Hilary Avenue.

The trial is expected to last two weeks.
