ON THIS DAY
In the expectation of a very low crowd and with works taking place at Villa Park, Villa make use of neighbour’s West Brom’s Hawthorns stadium for the visit of Příbram.
For the second success game Villa have a player sent off with Paul Merson following on from Mark Delaney, much to the chagrin of boss John Gregory,
Belgian international forward Luc Nilis however made his Villa debut aged 33, scoring Villa’s third, after joining from PSV Eindhoven on a free transfer earlier in July 2000.

TEAM NEWS
Villa hand a debut to Luc Nilis and recall Gareth Southgate as Mark Delaney (suspension) and Jlloyd Samuel drop out. Despite fielding 19 year old Gareth Barry, the first XI is an extremely 'experienced' one with an average age of 28.97 years old - a concern for a team that had already demonstrably shown that lasting the distance over a full season was its achilles heel.
