ON THIS DAY
Villa face neighbours Albion for the first time in eight years and dispatch the Baggies with embarrassing ease despite their problematic league form of 1997-98. Villa’s last game against their old rivals was also in the FA Cup in February 1990 with 12 years having now passed since the Villa last conceded a goal to West Bromwich.
