Billy Kingdon and Joe Beresford replace Jimmy Gibson and George Brown.

  • Villa suffer a shock defeat - their first of the 1930-31 season - as they are beaten at Ayresome Park by Middlesbrough.

  • Already handicapped by the absence of Jimmy Gibson and George Brown, Villa lose Billy Kingdon to a second half injury as Pongo Waring fails to score for the first time in eight games this season.

  • Villa fall to second and are now two points behind leaders Arsenal.
