1912-13 Season Notes
Villa recovered from the relative downturn they experienced in 1911-12 to climb back up the first division to finish league runners up behind the thuggish title winners Sunderland and once again lifted the FA Cup - their record fifth win in the competition - beating eventual league champions Sunderland in one of the least sporting finals in history. Villa hit 86 league goals and another 20 as they past the fourth round of the FA Cup for the first time since their last win in the 1904-05 season.

On this day 22 March 1913
Villa's 16 game unbeaten run came to an end as they suffered defeat for the first time in 17 games. Villa had had to play 2 away games on consecutive days with the second coming at Old Trafford against Manchester United less than 24 hours after the first fixture against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Villa would ultimately lose out on the title to Sunderland by 4 points with this run of fixtures having a particular bearing on the outcome.
