Steven Gerrard became the fourth Premier League manager to be sacked this season following Aston Villa's 3-0 defeat at Fulham. His sacking brings an end to a miserable 11-month spell in charge of the Midlands club, who have won just seven league games in 2022.
It was only last week that Arsenal legend Paul Merson called on Villa to give Gerrard more time, in a similar manner to what the Gunners did with Mikel Arteta. However, Gerrard has followed Scott Parker, Thomas Tuchel and Bruno Lage out of the Premier League exit door.
Now that the Gunners are in a fantastic position in the league - top of the table with nine wins from 10 - it's easy to forget the pressure Arteta has been under at different points during his time at the Emirates Stadium.
