On This Day

Last 5 Games: 🟩 🟩 🟩 🟨 🟨

A depleted Villa side lines up against a neighbouring side packed with experience, albeit from the lower leagues.
Despite the frustrating result, Villa sit joint top of the table alongside Leeds United with 17 points apiece from the first eight games of the season.
Former Villan Kevin Poole lines up for the opposition.
