On This Day
Villa make it three games unbeaten for the first time under Paul Lambert but despite taking an early lead they are held by a side yet to win in 15 games this campaign.
Regardless of the lowly stature of the opposition a point earned is a point earned and as a result Villa rise to 15th in the table - their highest position since September.
Defender Derrick Williams makes his sole appearance for Villa as a substitute aged 19 after coming through the youth team ranks to become the 853rd player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Chris Herd makes his first appearance for a month to make it 27 starts in a Villa shirt (33 Appearances), W9 D12 L12, 2 Goals, 2 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.
