(Reuters) - Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard said finishing the season in the top half of the table would represent a job well done having taken over when the Premier League club was hovering two points above the relegation zone.
Villa were 16th in the league when they appointed the former Rangers boss in November. The club now sit 11th in the standings -- a point behind Crystal Palace -- ahead of Liverpool's visit on Tuesday.
"The first remit was to move the team into a safe place, first and foremost. Now we're in a place with four games left where there's a possibility to finish in the top 10. Villa face a Liverpool side looking to keep the pressure on league leaders Manchester City as the title race winds down.
