ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 24 April 1948
As bad as the game at Turf Moor was, the Villa Park meeting with mid-table Liverpool was good. Villa, trailing at the break, see two goals from Trevor Ford - his first since a brace in February.
Villa remain 7th with one game remaining of 1947-48 at Ayresome Park.
