Villa's fourth game in seven days sees them come away from Craven Cottage with a point as yet another under-18 makes his debut for Joe Mercer's side - this time 16 year old Alan Baker. Villa need all the playing options they can get as they have just one day before they face Burnley in the Semi Final of the League Cup.

Joe Mercer's Villa draw at Craven Cottage as they play their seventh game in seventeen days to make it fifteen wins, nine draws and fourteen defeats in thirty eight games following their return to the top flight. 

Meanwhile, forward Alan Baker made his Villa debut aged 16 after joining from Brierley Hill Boys in July 1958.
