Aston Villa fans respond as Steven Gerrard makes West Ham announcement

Aston Villa fans have been reacting to Steven Gerrard's decision to make no changes for Sunday's clash with West Ham United at the London Stadium (2pm).

Gerrard has kept faith with the team that won 3-0 at Leeds United to make it three wins from their last three matches in the Premier League.

Emiliano Martinez starts in goal behind a back four of Matty Cash, Ezri Konsa, Calum Chambers and Lucas Digne.

Jacob Ramsey, John McGinn and Douglas Luiz continue in midfield while Philippe Coutinho, Danny Ings and Ollie Watkins are Gerrard's forwards.

The substitute's bench is strong again with Robin Olsen, Morgan Sanson, Leon Bailey, Emiliano Buendia, Ezri Konsa, Carney Chukwuemeka, Tim Iroegbunam, Bertrand Traore and Ashley Young on hand to help Gerrard out.

"If it isn't broken, then don't fix it," one Villa supporter wrote on social media while another added: "You can’t argue with that and there's plenty of options on the bench so it’s all good."

"Good, maybe Sanson for Ramsey but it is good to see faith and let JJ work out the issues," a third Villa supporter said.

"With Ramsey being quiet the past few games, this was the chance to give Sanson a go," another added while a fifth fan said: "I would have thought maybe Sanson comes in but I am more than happy with that."

Gerrard can close the gap to Wolverhampton Wanderers in eighth place with Bruno Lage's side seven points ahead of Villa.

Speaking before the game Gerrard acknowledged the work David Moyes has done at West Ham, who are going for Champions League qualification this season.

"It'll be tough because he's (Moyes) created a really tough team to play against, a very effective team," Gerrard said.

"I know how his teams set up from all the challenges we had
