Along with Villa:
Case one:
Players and club officials were attacked as violence erupted at the end of an FA Vase quarter final tie.
Saturday's game at Tadcaster Albion's i2i stadium in North Yorkshire saw visitors Highworth Town run out 1-0 winners.
Trouble flared at the end of the match with reports Highworth's chairman and goalkeeper were among those injured.
In a statement, Tadcaster officials said they were "devastated" by the "totally unacceptable" violence.
Meanwhile, the visitors from Wiltshire said the scenes were "regrettable and ruined what should have been a celebration of a magnificent achievement for Highworth Town".
The Tadcaster statement said: "We are devastated with the scenes at the end of yesterday's game.
"We will continue to work closely with the police, Highworth Town and the FA.
"We are determined to bring those responsible to account.
"As a club we apologise to everyone who witnessed and were on the receiving end of totally unacceptable behaviour.
"We do however wish to thank the majority of the 1,307 crowd who behaved impeccably."
Case 2:
A Watford football fan is in a critical condition after being attacked by a gang in Wolverhampton on Saturday.
The 44-year-old was with a group of friends making his way to the railway station to return to Hemel Hempstead after a match at Molineux stadium.
They were attacked in Littles Lane at about 17:00 GMT, West Midlands Police said.
Det Sgt Adam Keen said the group was "completely outnumbered" and the man was left with a severe head injury.
He is currently in hospital with what the force described as "life-threatening injuries".
"His family have been informed and we are in the process of taking statements from witnesses and locating any CCTV which might have captured those responsible for the attack," Det Sgt Keen said.
He appealed for anyone with information on the attack to come forward.
The Championship match between Wolves and Watford finished in a 2-2 draw.
