In recent months, Steven has moved from Scottish club Rangers to Aston Villa, hoping to save the Premier League side from relegation.
After opening with four wins from six under Gerrard, Villa have struggled for consistency, with Steven recently saying he knew the team had to look over their shoulder.
“It’s very easy in this area of the league to think you’re okay,” Gerrard said. “It’s very easy to take your eyes off the ball and become complacent, like we did last week.
“We have to be extremely careful. We are 12th, not a position where we can disrespect an opponent and think we can just show up.
