On This Day
Villa hold the upper hand throughout against Palace but yet again don't make their dominance count as they fail to score for the tenth time in twelve first division games in 1992 but they earn a point to climb back 12th in the table.
Ron Atkinson's Villa fail to score for the sixth successive game and now have just one win in twelve Division One matches in 1992, losing six.
Meanwhile, Paul Mortimer lines up for Palace, missing both of their best chances, having started the season as one of Atkinson's new Villa signings before being shown the door within weeks of his arrival.`

What they Said
โI still feel that the way we are playing and creating chances that the famine will soon be over.โ
Dalian Atkinson.
PALACE stretched Villa's goal drought to 592 minutes but, in all honesty, that was nothing to brag about.
Boss Steve Coppell clearly agreed, declining to comment on a dismal display by his own goal-shy youngsters.
Villa have scored just twice all year, with one goal in 11 matches. Yet they looked a far better side than Coppell's fading outfit.
Nigel Martyn played a key role in prolonging Villa's agony with the saves that mattered - from Dalian Atkinson, Dwight Yorke and German Matthias Breitkreutz.
Atkinson should have ended Villa's famine in the 65th minute when Kevin Richardson opened Palace up with a telling final ball.
But the ยฃ1.7 million striker blasted wide.
Palace struggled to cope with a fierce wind and a well-rehearsed Villa offside trap. Reduced to long-range efforts, their best first-half attempt was a well-struck Gareth Southgate drive turned wide by Nigel Spink.
Paul Mortimer found the net but was ruled out for handball. And it was Mortimer who missed Palace's two, best chances late on.
Both times he did well to get free in oceans of space but couldn't find the shot to beat Spink.
