On This Day
An ultra defensive Orient make life hard but Villa again find a way to win to make it eight wins in 10 second division games and retain their two point lead at the top of the table.
Joe Mercer's Villa extend their unbeaten run to eight as they win five consecutive League games proper for the first time since March 1931 to make it eight wins, a draw and a defeat in ten division two games so far this season as their excellent start to life in the second tier continues.
