ON THIS DAY
Villa secure their first second tier win since beating Bradford City 1-0 on Monday, 2 May 1988
Centre back James Chester made his debut for Villa aged 27 after joining from West Bromwich Albion for a fee of £8,370,000 earlier his month.
The stench of relegation lessened with the arrival of leader Chester as it did as winger Adama Traoré made his final appearance for Villa aged 20 before moving on to Middlesbrough for a fee of £7,430,000 later this month. Traoré’s made 1 start, 11 substitute appearances and scored once. Villa had paid Barcelona a scarcely believable £9,000,000 for Traoré’s services a year earlier in August 2015. Villa wouldn’t be the last club to spend big on this most ineffective and disruptive of players.
In other news, Ross McCormack’s first three games following his £12,870,000 move had contributed no goals, one assist, two bookings and a half time hook.

TEAM NEWS
Only Jack Grealish, Ross McCormack, Aaron Tshibola and Jordan Ayew survive from the controversial League Cup loss to Luton.
Unsurprisingly Jores Okore is nowhere to be seen.
New defensive signing James Chester makes his debut but the remnants of relegation remain with Ashley Westwood, Aly Cissokho and Rudy Gestede returning.
