Expectations were high when Steven Gerrard was named as Aston Villa manager in November 2021 - but it hasn't exactly gone to plan.

We’ve taken a look at how the Premier League table would look if it began when Gerrard was appointed by Villa. ‘We’re frustrated at the moment, we haven’t put enough points on the board for the players we’ve got. I’m all in to make that happen but it’s got to come from the players as well. So yes, of course I understand the reaction.” But Villa also lost six of their final 12 league games in 2021-22 and that form has carried on into the current campaign. The former England international then got his first management job in 2018 when he agreed terms with Rangers to succeed Pedro Caixinha.

ASTON VILLA stance on Steven Gerrard's future has reportedly emerged.

Tim Sherwood (57 per cent) and Remi Garde (56 per cent) are the only other Villa managers to boast worse records. Following a testing double-header against the Premier League's current top two in Arsenal and Manchester City, the West Midlanders face a trip to Leicester and a home game against Southampton before the international break. The Villa boss said: "Yes, I’ve got confidence and belief in this group, but the key thing is they believe in each other. Gerrard was appointed to much fanfare last November, but in the months since, the enthusiasm surrounding the club and his appointment has waned. [Aston Villa](/latest/aston-villa-fc) reportedly harbour no desire to sack Steven Gerrard over the coming weeks, but the pressure appears to be mounting following his side's dismal start to the season. The shoddy start very much appears a continuation of the club's stuttering end to last season, with Villa now having claimed just three victories since mid-March - two of which came against relegated duo Norwich and Burnley.

Convinced himself he deserves to be on the field despite having little hardware to back it up. Occasionally argues with himself, but is all about the bantz in the shower. The Magpies had 64% of the ball and twice as many shots as Wolves, and he’s calling them a long-ball side? Capable of a miraculous cross. They were in a much worse position and he has managed to turn them into a much better unit with a clear identity and has the results to show how good an appointment he was (saying that, Villa fans would have been annoyed if we appointed him – shows what fans know!). Complete credit for the cojones in dropping the formerly undroppable Ronaldo and Maguire, and sticking with his best XI, goes to Ten Hag and his team. After the absolute nonsense published on this site, in this mailbox and across the media, I think he’s pretty well proven the point. But surely he should be the natural for the wing back role for England. certainly the same obsession with the Glazers).

Chris Sutton has said that he is really worried about Aston Villa ahead of their clash with Arsenal on Wednesday.

They were maybe not at their absolute best but it was a good fightback by them and I love what Gabriel Jesus brings to them. The pressure is on Arsenal in many ways. This is his team this season, they had a good start last term but fell away and their signings haven’t paid off so far. They have won all four of their games so far and lead the way. It has led to outside debate over the future of Steven Gerrard. None of their opponents so far sit higher than 12th in the table.

Arsenal will be looking to keep their winning start to the season intact when they host Aston Villa at the Emirates Stadium.

Weds, August 31 - He was rested as a precaution and Mikel Arteta will hope he's fit again to be included against Villa. The rest of the matches are streamed on NBC platform Peacock for subscribers. Arsenal play host to Aston Villa at the Emirates Stadium in London, UK. It kicks off at 7.30 p.m.
