Ben Wilkinson’s side were looking to begin March with a fourth successive PL2 win as we continue to fight for a place in the all-important play-off places.
Our young boys in blue travelled to the West Midlands on an impressive winning run, which also saw us hold a trio of clean sheets against Leeds, Wolves and Nottingham Forest.
But, with Villa also in need of three vital points as the race for the top 16 heats up, would the Villans hand us our first PL2 defeat since January?
Or perhaps the points would be shared?
