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.
