Villa 1 Portsmouth 3
Villa lose ground in the race for Europe.
14.40: Carson makes two great saves to keep the score down. But the final whistle goes and it's two home defeats in a row for Villa.
14.35: Berger shoots over as time runs out for Villa.
14.27: Into the last ten minutes at Villa Park, and it's end to end stuff.
14.17: Villa win a penalty, is there a way back into the game? Gareth Barry steps up, and fires it hard down the middle. Rousing finale now at Villa Park.
14.08: The game is surely dead and buried, and it's Muntari again with another scorcher, robbing the Villa defence of the ball and slamming a shot past Carson from the edge of the area.
14.00: Villa make a change after a fruitless start to the second half, bringing on Patrick Berger.
13.34: Half time whistle goes and Portsmouth lead 2-0 despite only having one shot on target. Nightmare afternoon so far for Villa. Can they recover?
13.28: Disaster for Villa as Muntari smashes a screamer past Carson from 25 yards. It flies into the top corner.
13.15: David James - against his former club - thwarts Agbonlahor as Villa press for an equaliser.
13.09: Another golden opportunity for Laursen, how can he miss from four yards. MON has his head in his hands.
13.05: Martin Laursen misses a good chance to equalise from just a few yards.
12.58: Bad start for Villa, as Benjani turns the ball past Scott Carson from close range after just 10 minutes.
12.50: Martin O'Neill and Gabby Agbonlahor won manager and player of the month awards for November.
So we can expect Agbonlahor to miss a sitter and Villa to lose 5-0 today then. Click here to see them talking about Villa
12.45: Match gets underway in the battle of two form sides. Sixth place is up for grabs.
