Jimmy Hogan makes his first change of the season as he hands a debut to Frank Shell in place of 1936-37 leading scorer Frank Broome.

  • Thuggishness on the pitch and from the terraces is beaten by a vastly superior Villa side as Freddie Haycock scores for the second time in three games and Villa win for the fourth time in seven division two games.

  • Villa make it four wins, a draw and two defeats in seven division two games. 

  • Villa climb back to joint fourth and move within two points of leaders Coventry after 7 games. Up next is bottom side Fulham.

  • Forward Frank Shell made his Villa debut aged 24 after joining from Ford Sports in May 1937.
