Steven Gerrard insists Aston Villa cannot finish as low as 14th ever again

Steven Gerrard has made it perfectly clear that Aston Villa 'need to improve in a lot of departments' this summer as he looks to push into the top half.

A 1-1 draw with Burnley on Thursday night keeps Villa in 14th, level on points with Crystal Palace.

With a trip to title-chasing Manchester City on the final day, the expectation is that is where Villa will finish and Gerrard is adamant that there can be no repeat during his time in charge.

'We are 14th in the league and we've just given a lap of honour and our fans were incredible,' Gerrard told Sky Sports.
