Aston Villa manager Steven Gerrard believes England coach Gareth Southgate is watching his players.

Villa put in another impressive display under Gerrard's tutelage, claiming a 2-1 home win over Leicester City in the Premier League on Sunday.

Center back Ezri Konsa got both the goals for Villa, who could have scored more but for poor final passes and shots.

Gerrard said post-game: "We've got a few England internationals, and I'm sure a few future ones in the pipeline as well.

"Gareth knows this club very well and I'm sure he watches us very closely.

"I don't think any of them have done themselves any harm."

Gerrard added on Konsa: "He deserves all the credit for being aggressive and going to attack things.

"Emi Buendia will be a bit disappointed with the first one as it was going in anyway, but we want to be aggressive from set plays.

"We want to score goals and give teams problems.

"We've certainly showed that in all the games so far, in terms of defending our own goal as well."
