Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood is drawing inspiration from Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish.

Sherwood played for Dalglish at Blackburn Rovers.

He said: "I've had some great managers and Kenny will rank as the best of them all, for me.

"His man-management and knowledge of how he wanted his team to play is something that sticks with me.

"Obviously he selected his coaching staff very well, but his winning mentality just oozed over the players and his desire to actually succeed is something that certainly left a massive impression with me."
