Former Spurs boss Tim Sherwood has emerged as the red hot early favourite for the vacant Aston Villa job following the sacking of Paul Lambert.

Sherwood is as short as 8/11 on betfair to fill the empty seat at Villa Park.

USA manager Jurgen Klinsmann is second favourite to fill the boots of Lambert at a best price 4/1.

Next is Brentford boss Mark Warburton at 6/1 along with former Villa favourite Gareth Southgate who is also as short as 6/1 with one bookie.

Burnley boss Sean Dyche, who has done so well getting the Lancashire club promoted and with a fighting chance of staying in the Premiership, is 7/1.

Others being touted by the bookies include Harry Redknapp who recently quit QPR citing a knee problem at 10/1 and Bolton boss Neil Lennon at 12/1.

Former England boss Sven Goran Erikkson has odds of 20/1 and for a long punt former Blues boss Lee Clark is 66/1.

As ever there are so many names in the frame it could be a surprise name, we have drawn up a gallery above of all of the names that will or have been mentioned on social media.
