Saturday, 23 October 1920
  • With Sam Hardy's injury sustained in the heavy defeat at Preston last time out much more serious than expected it is announced that he will be absent for many weeks.

  • Reserve 'keeper Jim Lee - who conceded five at Bolton in September - comes in for this second appearance for the campaign as Clem Stephenson scores a brace to get Villa back to winning ways.

  • Villa make it eight wins, a draw and three defeats in twelve division one games.

  • Villa retake the outright lead at the top of the table, one point ahead of Newcastle, Liverpool and Everton.
