Steven Gerrard keen for Aston Villa follow up win
Steven Gerrard has challenged Villa to build on the confidence from their Carabao Cup win at Bolton when they host West Ham on Sunday.
Gerrard described the visit of the Hammers as a “huge” game for a Villa team who have lost two of their first three Premier League matches.
The boss named a strong team for Tuesday’s cup triumph and believes the result, albeit against League One opposition, will have boosted belief.
He said: “We challenged the players to go through in the cup and put themselves in the best possible place going into West Ham. It is a huge game for us now and we can go in there with a bit more confidence.
“We are at home, will have our fans behind us and if we manage to achieve what we want to achieve, it will settle a few things down.”
