Steven Gerrard has hailed Steve Cooper’s promotion success with Nottingham Forest as an “out of this world” achievement.
Gerrard’s Aston Villa are the visitors to the City Ground on Monday night, with the hosts looking to turn the tide as they go in search of a positive result. They slumped to the bottom of the Premier League table this week after falling 4-0 at Leicester City.
That was a fifth straight defeat for Cooper’s side. However, since then, he has put pen to paper on a new contract with the club - and Villa boss Gerrard says he hopes people don’t have “short memories” when it comes to judging his opposite number.
