On This Day
Villa are held to a fourth successive away draw by struggling Derby and remain top of the table but with their lead cut to 1 point.
Joe Mercer's Villa extend their unbeaten run to thirteen to make it nine wins, five draws and a defeat in fifteen division two games so far this season as their excellent start to life in the second tier continues.
