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.
