Match Timeline

On This Day

Villa cruise past Leeds thanks to Andy Gray and Alex Cropley as Ron Saunders' youthful side show up their elders at Elland Road but a fortnight without a League game drops Villa to fifth.
Ron Saunders' Villa win for the first time in four League games but are now unbeaten in six to make it nine wins, three draws and five defeats in seventeen division one games this season.
Meanwhile, central defender Charlie Young made his Villa debut after joining from school football in June 1974. Charlie was a replacement for Chris Nicholl who was suffering from a broken nose.

On This Day

Villa destroy reigning champions Liverpool, putting five past the entitled Anfield side in 44 first half minutes as they gain some revenge for the unjust scoreline in the reverse fixture the previous month.
Not that being utterly outplayed twice in succession stopped Liverpool and their media followers blaming anything and everything but the excellence of Villa for their humiliation.
Ron Saunders' Villa win for the second successive League game to make it ten wins, three draws and five defeats in eighteen division one games this season.
Meanwhile, 18 year old full back Mick Buttress made his Villa debut as a substitute after joining from school football in 1975.

On This Day

Ron Saunders' Villa lose for the first time in five as to quote a contemporary match report "This was the night the season caught up the Aston Villa. With a third of their first team squad injured and with four tired or untested teenagers in their places ...". Villa make it nineteen wins, five draws and ten defeats in thirty four division one games this season. As a result Villa now have four games in hand over Ipswich Town who did not play and are now down to six points ahead but both Manchester City and Liverpool remain in strong positions in the four way fight for the title. Meanwhile midfielder David Hughes made his fifth and final appearance for Villa aged 19 before moving on to Lincoln City in April 1978.
