ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 25 April 1959
Villa take a point away from Maine Road in the penultimate game of the season meaning they only need to equal or better Manchester City's result in the final game of the season to secure First Division football for 1959-60. Villa face fourth placed neighbours Albion at the Hawthorns whilst City play 19th placed Leicester at home.
Joe Mercer's Villa without a win in eight, secure a draw and a point against relegation rivals Manchester City to make it eleven wins, seven draws and twenty three losses in forty one division one games with one final game to play - away from home - with Villa needing to win to avoid relegation.
