Villa lose to Bristol City as Watford lose to Millwall to leave the pair three points adrift at the bottom of the table after eighteen games.
Tommy Docherty's terrible season continues as Villa fail to win for the sixteenth time in eighteen League games to make it two wins, seven draws and nine losses in eighteen division two games to sit bottom of the table and three points adrift of safety.
