On This Day
Despite illness seeping into the camp - forcing Jimmy Hogan to miss the game - Ronnie Starling scores to secure Villa a first win in three League.
The win at promotion rivals Coventry leaves them second in the table, one point ahead of their opponents, level with Manchester United and two behind leaders Sheffield United with a game in hand.
Villa make it eighteen wins, six draws and eight defeats in thirty two division two games.
Midfielder George Pritty makes his fourth and final appearance for Villa aged 24 before moving on to Nottingham Forest in December 1938.
