Ashley Westwood is excited after the first days of training under new Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood.

Sherwood took his first training session on Tuesday after replacing Paul Lambert.

Westwood said: "Training was electric and it is down to the gaffer to pick the team.

"Training was sharp, the lads were on it, if we carry that forward we will be fine. It has been good - the lads are all up for it.

"The gaffer has played at the top so hopefully he can give some good tips over.

"You can see that the way he is around the place, he is a strong character and I think that is going to be good for the team."
