Aston Villa boss Gerrard happy to have selection headache

Steven Gerrard insists it is a good thing that he is losing sleep over his Aston Villa attacking selection.

Danny Ings, Ollie Watkins and Emi Buendia have also found the net in the early weeks of the campaign.

Speaking after the 4-1 win over Bolton, Gerrard said: "I think it is good when you lose sleep thinking about good players and who you are going to play.

"It is worse when you lose sleep because you haven't got the options or you've got injuries or suspensions. I've been in that situation.

"Losing sleep is not a bad thing when you are thinking about good players. It's no problem. I don't sleep well anyway."
