On This Day
Villa are held at home by title pretenders Arsenal as a swashbuckling performance doesn't deliver the two points it deserved but Villa remain two clear at the top of the table after twenty games with Liverpool second.
Ron Saunders' Villa, without a win in three, make it twelve wins, five draws and three defeats in twenty League matches this season. As a result Villa remain clear at the top of the Division One table three points ahead of Ipswich.
