ON THIS DAY
Tuesday, 21 September 1993
Villa face off against neighbours Birmingham City for the first time since their 6-0 victory in November 1988.
Despite the loss of Nigel Spink to injury, a penalty and the 'excitement' of one of Birmingham's biggest gates in years, Villa ease past the second division side in the League Cup.
Kevin Richardson scores his 11th goal in a Villa shirt on his 112th appearance to make it W51 D31 L30, 11 Goals and 10 Assists so far in his Villa career.
Mark Bosnich keeps his 10th clean sheet in a Villa shirt on his 20th appearance (and first as a substitute) to make it W10 D4 L6, 14 Goals Conceded at a rate of 0.70 goals per game and 10 Clean Sheets (50%) so far in his Villa career.
