On This Day
Villa once again meet Manchester United at Maine Road after the war damage at Old Trafford is still not repaired.
Once again however it's a defeat that is barely merited as Villa lose Vic Potts to injury and are effectively reduced to 10 men fro all but 8' of the second half.
Villa fall to joint 12th as their opponents move within two points of Alex Massie's side.
Left back Ron Guttridge makes his 15th and final appearance for Villa aged 31 before moving on to Brighton in June 1948.
