1889–90 Aston Villa F.C. season

Aston Villa had a disappointing 1889–90 season, having finished second in the previous season. They started with an unbeaten opening three games including a win over champions Preston, but suffered several defeats after Christmas, winning only one of their six remaining league games. Preston's defeat to Aston Villa in the League though, was their first ever in the competition.
