Attendance: 10,766

On This Day
  • A terrible game at Deepdale sees Villa extend their winless League run to eleven games, scoring four goals. On the bright side Villa are unbeaten in three and climb to 11th in the table, seven points off the promotion places.

  • Vic Crowe's Villa, without a win in eleven second division games scoring just four goals make it seven wins, eleven draws and eight defeats in twenty six League games this season.
