On This Day
With a two week break, Villa use it wisely and return from a team break at Lilleshall to win a second successive game under Joe Mercer - this time against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the fourth round of the FA Cup. Next is a real league test against .... Chelsea.
Joe Mercer's Villa play and win successive FA Cup matches as they receive respite from their League troubles following up their defeat of division two side Rotherham with a win over Chelsea in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
