Gordon Hodgson, Jimmy Allen and Tommy Wood replace Jim Robey, Alex Massie and John Maund.

  • Eric Houghton scores as Villa are defeated for the third time this season and have just one win in their last seven.

  • Villa fall to joint 5th in the table.

  • Trailing by just a single goal at half time Villa have already suffered injuries to Frank Broome and Tom Griffiths with both players requiring time off the pitch. The second half begins in a flurry of goals for the home side to put them 0-3 ahead before Eric Houghton scores from the spot. Villa then lose George Hodgson and Dai Astley to injury and concede two more goals with nine men on the field.

  • Off the pitch, Jimmy Hogan's wife, seriously ill, suffers a relapse but the manager stays with the team ahead of returning to his wife's bedside.

  • Midfielder Tommy Wood made the last of his 71 appearances for Villa aged 28 before moving on to Newport County in December 1936.
