Aston Villa communications director Tommy Jordan has responded to a report which claimed that Steven Gerrard would be sacked following Chelsea's 2-0 win at Villa Park. The former Liverpool midfielder faces an increasingly uncertain future at west Midlands club amid a string of uninspiring results.
The Villains currently sit 16th in the Premier League, just one point above the relegation zone despite spending around £60million in the summer transfer window. Despite Gerrard's side giving the Blues a good run for their money, Mason Mount piled on the misery with two well-taken efforts to extend Graham Potter's five-game unbeaten streak.
As the home support, who were clearly unhappy, began to leave the ground early, doubt was quickly cast over the Villa boss' future. According to the Telegraph, former Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino has been identified as the primary candidate to replace Gerrard.
