Aston Villa 'will look at' FA Cup winner if Steven Gerrard leaves Villa Park

31.08.2022 - 11:13 givemesport.com

Aston Villa will look at Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers if they decide to sack Steven Gerrard, believes journalist Dean Jones. The Midlands club have made a poor start to the season, cranking up the pressure on their current boss.

While Jones has told GIVEMESPORT that Villa have no plans to sack Gerrard at this moment in time, the 42-year-old could quickly find himself fighting for his job if results do not improve.

The Villans have lost three out of their four league games so far, including one against Bournemouth, who have just dismissed Scott Parker after their own struggles during this early part of the campaign.

They have at least been able to pick up some points after beating Everton 2-1 earlier this month, but Gerrard knows his men have to do better.
