ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 25 November 1972
Villa lose at the Manor Ground amid sensationalist headlines to remain joint fourth but they are now joined by Preston as well as Luton, one point of third and three points off the second promotion place held by QPR. Burnley sit five clear at the top, all having played 19 games.
Vic Crowe's Villa lose for the second game in succession and fail to score for the third successive match as they make it eight wins, seven draws and four defeats in nineteen League games.
