Saturday, 7 January 1928
Reg Chester scores two and creates one as Villa take the lead after 3' and retake it on 26' but find themselves 2-3 down two minutes later.
Villa find a deserved second half equaliser before Liverpool hit the winner.
Villa start 1928 as they ended 1927 with a fourth successive defeat and ninth loss in the last eleven to make it eight wins, four draws and twelve defeats in their twenty four division one games.
