ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 16 December 2006
Villa are hit by more poor officiating as they lose at home to Bolton to make it three Premier League defeats in eighteen under Martin O'Neill but without a recognised goalkeeper to call on the Christmas period takes on a challenging air.
Villa drop to 9th in the table after losing their 2nd game in 4 under Martin O’Neill to extend their winless run to 6 as Thomas Sörensen and Stuart Taylor are ruled out with injury, forcing Villa to field second tier reserve 'keeper Gábor Király who had arrived on an emergency loan earlier in the week on a short term loan from Crystal Palace.
Gábor Király makes his debut in a Villa shirt to become the 795th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Steven Davis makes his 75th start in a Villa shirt (91 Appearances) to make it W29 D30 L32, 9 Goals, 5 Assists and 2 Bookings so far in his Villa career.

TEAM NEWS
TEAM STATS
Villa lose goalkeepers Thomas Sörensen and Stuart Taylor to injury and are forced to enact an emergency loan for a replacement 'keeper. Championship side Crystal Palace's reserve 'keeper Gábor Király proves to be the only viable option and is duly brought in by Martin O'Neill and promoted to Villa's first team. Meanwhile Gareth Barry returns in place of Wilfred Bouma.
