Billy Smith names an unchanged line up.

  • Villa make it one defeat in seven as they begin to get their faltering title challenge back on track but they are held at home by Chelsea.

  • Pongo Waring scores his TWENTY EIGHTH goal in twenty two games but leaves the field in the second half with injury. 

  • Villa make it eleven wins, six draws and five defeats in their twenty two division one games having scored SIXTY goals.

  • Only leaders Arsenal have a better goal haul.

  • Villa's improved form lifts them to third in the table although first and second placed Arsenal and Wednesday have a game in hand on Billy Smith's men.
