On This Day
Billy McNeill takes charge of Villa for the first time in the first division with the club having won just seven of their last thirty four league games losing eighteen.
McNeill oversees a draw at 5th placed Liverpool prompting both relief and hope that the end of a torrid spell is near.
Villa take the lead three times at Anfield only to be pegged back with a helping hand from the referee and a painful late equaliser from old boy Steve McMahon.

Villa Career Form:
Relegation
What they Said
"We are far from perfect.
"We have the ingredients to make ourselves into a good side and start marching forward.
"We have got to do something about our goals against column.
โIโm a big believer in always fielding your strongest side and it could be very worthwhile to get Mark Walters crossing for Garry Thompson.
โWe have got to become meaner and tighter there because if we stop other teams scoring then there is no question we have the players here to cause havoc at the other end.โ
Billy McNeill.
"They played really well but we expected them to have fire in their bellies now that BILLY MCNEILL has arrived as the new manager.
โWe were disappointed with the three goals we conceded and there will be an inquest.
"But Villa are too good and have too many quality players to stay at the bottom of the First Division for much longer.โ
Steve McMahon.
