A match hosted on little more than a bog results in Villa needing a replay with Peterborough meaning they have faced the first of four games in the next nine games, three in the Cups, one in the League.
Villa face Peterborough United for the first time in competitive football, Peterborough become the 89th team that the Villa first team has played in League or Cup football.
Joe Mercer's Villa can only draw with fourth division Peterborough in the FA Cup third round at London Road but now have just three defeats in twenty.
