'Why take a step down!?' - Liverpool fans react as Steven Gerrard is told to take Arsenal job

The pressure in increasing on Arsenal head coach Unai Emery.

His Gunners side have won just one of their last six games across all competitions, and have not won in their last four outings, drawing their last two home matches in the Premier League against Crystal Palace and Wolves.

They are six points outside the top four and that could be nine come 8pm.

The Gunners let slip a 1-0 lead to draw 1-1 with Wolves last weekend, having thrown away a two-goal lead at home to Palace the week before and were held by Vitoria in the Europa League on Wednesday afternoon.

Plenty of names are in the frame to replace Emery in the Emirates hotseat should he get the sack.

This includes the likes of Jose Mourinho, Luis Enrique and Mikel Arteta.

But talkSPORT host Alan Brazil has made a surprise pick for the next Arsenal head coach.

He's suggested Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard who is currently in charge of Rangers and has been backed to follow Brendan Rodgers by returning to England at the earliest possible chance.

"If the Arsenal job comes up, see you later," Brazil said on Thursday. "He'll do a Brendan [Rodgers]."
