Tommy Mort and Dai Astley replace Danny Blair and Pongo Waring.

  • Dai Astley scores four goals and contributes 2 assists and Eric Houghton scores a hat-trick as Villa put seven past Sunderland in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

  • It doesn't come without cost however as thuggish Sunderland play leaves multiple Villa players injured and causes regular absences from the field of play.

  • Villa confound the form books as they put seven past high flying division one rivals Sunderland to win in the FA Cup fourth round.
