ON THIS DAY
Sunday, 1 March 2020
Villa go into the EFL Cup final as underdogs but take the game to City only to be undone by more generous officiating.
A team with the talent and resources of Manchester City hardly need the help yet it keeps on coming.
To Villa's credit they made the game significantly more competitive than it was intended to be but a sixth League Cup triumph wasn't to be.
Villa appear in their 9th League Cup Final.
Villa finish runners up in the League Cup for the fourth time.
Jack Grealish makes his 175th appearance in a Villa shirt (128 Starts) to make it W68 D35 L72, 24 Goals, 28 Assists, 28 Bookings and 2 Red Cards so far in his Villa career.
Anwar El Ghazi contributes his 25th goal involvement on his 66th appearance (57 Starts) to make it W25 D16 L25, 12 Goals, 13 Assists, 9 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.
Marvelous Nakamba makes his 25th appearance for the club (22nd Start) to make it W7 D4 L14, 0 Goals, 0 Assists and 6 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Off the pitch Villa record a ยฃ69m loss in their accounts for 2018-19 following the acquisition of the club by NWSE despite the sale of Villa park to a related business for ยฃ56.7m.
