On This Day
Villa lose for the first time in 5 Premier League games under Brian Little.
Centre back David Hughes, 19, makes his debut in a Villa shirt after joining the club as a trainee and signing professional forms in July 1996 to become the 719th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Tommy Johnson makes it 10 Premier League games without a goal on his 69th appearance in a Villa shirt (49 Starts), W28 D18 L23, 16 Goals, 4 Assists and 11 Bookings at a goal per game rate of one for every 4.31 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
Julian Joachim makes his 25th appearance in a Villa shirt (8 Starts) to make it W8 D5 L12 and 3 Goals so far in his Villa career at a goal involvement rate of one for every 8.33 games played so far in his Villa career.
Future Villa full back Simon Grayson, future Villa centre forward Emile Heskey and former Villa midfielder Garry Parker line up for Leicester as future Villa boss Martin OโNeill masterminds another victory over Villa.
