Villa recover from 1-3 down to draw with 17th placed Manchester United but their winless run extends to seven in all competitions as they remain 19th in the table.
Billy McNeill's Villa stop a run of three defeats but are held to a draw at home by 16th placed Manchester United. As a result they are without a win in seven under McNeill and have just eleven wins in their last forty six League games losing twenty two.
Meanwhile, Steve Hodge made his final appearance for Villa aged 24 before moving on to Tottenham Hotspur for a fee of £650,000. Villa had paid Nottingham Forest £400,000 for Hodge's services 16 months earlier and he played for Villa in 1985-86 and 1986-87 making 69 appearances and scoring 16 goals. Villa had turned Hodge into an England international but ironically, once leaving the struggling club, found his national team opportunities much more limited.

On This Day
Billy McNeill's Villa lose for the ninth time in fifteen matches in all competitions, winning once, as the hated Steve Hodge - a deeply unpopular player even in a Villa shirt - gleefully sent Villa to defeat. As a result Villa now have just twelve wins in their last fifty two League games losing twenty five.

Billy McNeill's Villa stop a run of four consecutive defeats as they secure a creditable draw with Championship chasing, and second placed, Liverpool. Villa however now had just twelve wins in their last fifty five League games losing twenty seven. As a result Villa fell to 22nd and bottom of the table, four points off safety and four points off the relegation play off place with fourteen games left to play. Meanwhile, Warren Aspinall made his Villa debut aged 19 after moving from Everton earlier this month for a fee of £350,000.

On This Day
Billy McNeill's Villa lose for the third time in four games and now have fourteen wins in their last sixty seven League games losing thirty two. As a result Villa fall back to the bottom of the table, six points off safety and four points off the relegation play off place with two games to play and six points available. Mathematically it is still possible for Villa to survive but they will need two high scoring wins and their rivals Leicester and Oxford to lose their remaining matches.
