Remi Garde wants an immediate improvement when Aston Villa faces Stoke City after being thumped by Liverpool last time out.
Aston Villa boss Remi Garde has called on his players to prove their hammering at home to Liverpool was "an accident" when they face Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday.
A 6-0 home loss last time out ensured Villa remain rooted to the bottom of the Premier League with only three wins from 26 matches and an eight-point gap to safety.
History is not on Garde's side if he is hoping to see a late-season turnaround.
