On This Day
Villa just cannot get their season going as they draw for the third time in six matches, winning once.
It hardly helps that this is now Villa's sixth game in 16 days and only 48 hours after their journey to Leeds Road.
Centre forward Dave Hickson makes his Villa debut after moving from Everton earlier this month.
