On This Day
Villa warm up for the League Cup final as Brian Littleโs much changed side are held at home by a tediously boring Boro side.

Midfielder Scott Murray, 21, makes his debut in a Villa shirt after moving from Fraserburgh FC for a fee of ยฃ35,000 in August 1994 to become the 716th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Dwight Yorke records his 50th draw in a Villa shirt on his 196th appearance (156 Starts) to make it W85 D50 L61, 59 Goals, 29 Assists and 2 Bookings at a goal involvement rate of one for every 2.23 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
Steve Staunton records his 50th draw in a Villa shirt on his 184th appearance (179 Starts) to make it W77 D50 L57, 15 Goals, 23 Assists and 10 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Lee Hendrie makes his 2nd appearance in a Villa shirt and 1st start three months after his debut and manages to remain on the pitch to make it W0 D1 L1, 2 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.
Former Villa right back Neil Cox lines up for Middlesbrough.

What they Said
""When we looked at their team, we hoped that this would be the one where we won,โ said Robson."
Boring Boro grab a vital point
THE post Christmas decline of Middlesbrough was perfectly encapsulated as they came away from Villa Park with a gratefully-accepted point.
On the face of it having earned just two draws from their previous 12 games, a goalless draw with the side fourth in the Premiership was an achievement in itself. But this was a Villa team without eight first-teamers, through injury and suspension, and with a trio of debutants, and still Bryan Robsonโs team rarely looked like finding a way through.
And while Robson did at least indicate his belief that the Teessiders had now turned the corner despite a thigh injury to one Brazilian, Juninho, and the patent lack of fitness of his other, Branco, his reflections were perhaps unintentionally revealing.
"When we looked at their team, we hoped that this would be the one where we won,โ said Robson.
