Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard told ‘pressure is off’ ahead of Leeds United clash

Former Aston Villa striker Gabby Agbonlahor believes “the pressure is off” Steven Gerrard after their victory against Southampton. Questions had been asked about the 42-year-old’s position as, before the result, Villa had won just twice in their last 11 Premier League games.

Leeds United are unbeaten in their last three trips to Villa Park going into Sunday’s clash. A thrilling 3-3 draw in February saw the Whites snatch a point from two goals down.
