On This Day
Villa have to wait three weeks since their controversial arranged Liverpool game to finally play Bristol City in the FA Cup third round.
The original fixture was scheduled for 5 January, 2 months earlier. Villa's victory was in the first of a three game run over the next four days including the fourth round tie.
Joe Mercer's Villa's crazily interrupted season continues as they play just their fifth game in nearly three months, almost a month after their last fixture.
Villa however return to winning ways after suffering their heaviest defeat of the season in the previous game as they beat third division Bristol City in the FA Cup at the second attempt.
