On This Day
Villa are selected to play away from home on New Years Day for the 18th time in the 19 fixtures they have played on 1st January.
Villa had played their first New Years Day fixture in January 1891 and have now played just one home game on 1st January in 45 years.
Villa earn a point on New Years Day for only the sixth time in 19 games and win for only the 3rd time with their last victory having come in 1910.
Villa secure a second win in four as they open 1936 with a shock win over eventual champions Sunderland as Ronnie Dix scores a brace to make it three in as many games.
Villa open 1936 with a second win in four games as they beat eventual Champions Sunderland on New Years' Day to make it six wins, four draws and fourteen defeats in twenty four games.
Meanwhile, forward Jack Palethorpe, 26, made the last of his six appearances for Villa before moving on to Crystal Palace in October 1936.
Villa now have a single clean sheet in 30 games.
