On This Day
  • Villa’s difficult spell continues as the injury hit side loses for the fourth successive game in all competitions and have one win in seven. Such is the toll on the squad that Kenny Swain is forced to play the second half as striker after David Geddis becomes Villa’s latest injury victim.

  • Ron Saunders' Villa lose four successive matches for the first time this season to make it twelve wins, eleven draws and nine defeats in thirty two League matches this season.
