Aston Villa need this win after a winless streak for weeks. Steven Gerrard might be under pressure after getting only one win in six weeks. This can be the time to start improving their form.

Of course, Gerrard will have to force his team to win against Southampton today if he is to keep his position as coach safe from a possible sacking. Aston Villa have failed to win in as many matches especially in 4 consecutive matches so far, it leaves them in 17th place with 4 points.

The home advantage had to be used today to secure the 3 points from Southamton, but so far I wouldn't be too sure Aston Villa can do well. Their defense is weak, their goal productivity is also low, it will definitely make it difficult for them to win.

1 draw and 3 defeats in 4 matches they run seems difficult for Gerrard to turn things around now. I personally feel they will still take advantage of the draw in this match because indeed when they appear with a midfield that is too open it is clearly not too good for them especially in this case their defensive condition is not too good.
