Match Media
On This Day
  • Villa make it one defeat in eight League games and six wins but are held to a draw by Chelsea at Villa Park.

  • For the second successive game Villa are officiated by a referee who has already created controversy this season as referee Vickers officates for the first time since making a fool of himself in the fog of Stamford Bridge in November.

  • Villa remain joint 17th, level with Everton and one point and one place behind Chelsea.
