Aston Villa and several of the region's leading clubs joined the first two national leagues set up in England, theFootball League and theFootball Alliance.

Aston Villa were one of the new league's 12 founding members and finished as runners-up behind double winnersPreston North End.The 'Invincibles' fromLancashire also ended Villa's bid to win every single home game, with a 2–0 win atWellington Road in Villa's last home fixture.
