Starting XI

On This Day
Villa can't make it consecutive home wins despite taking the lead twice as they are beaten by Spurs & Jimmy Greaves.
Joe Mercer's Villa continue their inconsistent start to the campaign as they lose a third home game and make it three wins, a draw and four defeats in the first eight League games of the season.
