ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 1 October 1955
Villa's horrendous form continues as they lose to bottom club Arsenal.
Eric Houghton's Villa lose for the second successive game and are now without a win in eight to make it one win, six draws and four losses in eleven games this season.
Meanwhile Villa are now playing every 7 days which makes the crazy fixture congestion earlier in the season even more unfathomable given have played two and in some cases three more games than their opponents.
