  • Villa record their fifteenth win in twenty one League games to make it twenty three wins, seven draws and seven defeats in their thirty seven division one games in 1909-10 with just one game left to play.

  • Villa's game comes a full eleven days since their title winning game at Trent Bridge during which time second placed Liverpool have played twice, winning one and drawing one to leave them seven points adrift of Villa.

  • The two clubs face each other in their final games of the season at Anfield.
