Games to be missed by Gerrard:

Testing positive to covid-19 would keep the English man out of managerial action for at least a week.
That being said, he is expected to miss today's game against Chelsea and Tuesday’s encounter against Leeds. He would now remain in isolation as is the norm of Covid-19 patients.

Games to hold on boxing day:

Unless there is a late change, the game of Chelsea against Aston Villa is scheduled to take place on boxing day.
Every team right now would be hoping they run out of covid-related issues. This is due to the fixture pileups associated with the postponement of matches.
As Villa prepare to face off against Chelsea, it would be interesting to see how they perform in the absence of their manager.

Summary:

Ever since the arrival of Steven Gerrard, the performances of the Aston Villa team have taken a real boost.
That being said, his absence would be a huge miss. Particularly bearing in mind the calibre of team they would be coming up against.
