ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 20 February 1971
Villa lose for the second time in three third division games in the worst possible warm up for their third League Cup final. Preston’s win moves them joint top of the table with Villa as Fulham close the gap to one point with their victory as Halifax leapfrog Bristol Rovers into fourth.
Vic Crowe's League Cup finalists Villa lose for the second time in three League games to make it sixteen wins, eight draws and seven defeats in thirty one division three games so far this season. As a result, Villa now share top spot with Preston North End on goal average.
