Lambert replaces McLeish at Villa Park
Paul Lambert has replaced Alex McLeish at Aston Villa.
McLeish was sacked at the end of last season and Lambert is coming from the team that beat Aston Villa in McLeish's last match for Villa.
Lambert managed two successive promotions at Norwich and his team finished four places above Villa on the table.
He takes over a team that flirted with relegation for the later part of the season and ensured survival with just one match to go.
Here is some stats for the two teams:
