On This Day
Villa make it six wins, ten draws and sixteen defeats in thirty two division one games so far this season.
George Martin's Villa win for the first time in seven as his overhaul of the Villa squad continues apace.
It is Villa's third win in 12 under the new boss.
Centre forward Derek Pace makes a goalscoring debut for Villa after joining from Bloxwich Strollers in September 1949.
Midfielder Danny Blanchflower also makes his first appearance following his move from Barnsley earlier this month.
