Villa win but, just as in the cup defeat to Ipswich last time out, they miss a host of chances to have put the game out of reach of the opposition early on.
Joe Mercer’s Villa bounce back from their League Cup defeat to win a second League game in three as they see off minnows Manchester City at Villa Park to make it seven wins, four draws and seven defeats in eighteen Division One games this season.
