Cyril Spiers replaces Tommy Jackson in goal for the first time in 1921-22 after Jackson's 'difficult' performance against Chelsea but Villa's poor end of season form continues. 

Villa lose for the third time in four games and now have seven losses in their last eleven.

Villa fail to score for the fifth time in 9 games.

Villa make it twenty one wins, three draws and sixteen defeats in forty division one games.

Villa fall to joint fifth in the table and are joined by their conquerers to sit in their lowest position since December with two games of 1921-22 left to play, both against an Oldham side not technically safe from relegation.

Villa are three points off second place making their challenge for runners up spot extremely unlikely.

Winger Lew Price makes his tenth and final appearance for Villa aged 25 before moving on to Notts County in June 1922.
