Joe Beresford replaces George Brown.

  • Villa's poor away form hurts them again as they lose to Leicester despite Pongo Waring scoring his 16th goal in twelve.

  • Villa have dropped 6 points in from the last 8 available away from home and have yet to keep a clean sheet on the road in 1930-31.

  • For the second game in succession it is the opposition's direct methods and Villa's profligacy in front of goal that costs them.

  • For Villa however there is some relief as Arsenal are held at home by West Ham and though Billy Smith's men remain second the deficit is only two points.

  • Villa now have 31 goals for the season, as do Huddersfield and West Ham, whilst Arsenal are the top scorers with 34 from 12 games.

  • Up next for Villa are struggling Blackburn at Villa Park.
