# Aston Villa FC in het seizoen 1993/94

Dit artikel beschrijft de prestaties van voetbalclub Aston Villa FC in het seizoen 1993/1994. Op 27 maart 1994 wonnen de manschappen van trainer Ron Atkinson de League Cup. In de finale versloeg men de latere landskampioen Manchester United. Het was het jaar van de doorbraak van centrale verdediger Ugo Ehiogu, een Engelsman met Nigeriaanse wortels. Het centrale duo Shaun Teale - Paul McGrath was echter nog steeds ongenaakbaar. Ehiogu speelde vaker als linksachter en daardoor als rotatiespeler in de plaats van Steve Staunton. In de zomer werd middenvelder Andy Townsend van Chelsea aangetrokken. In het offensieve compartiment was Aston Villa afhankelijk van de prestaties van Dean Saunders en Dalian Atkinson. Het seizoen werd beëindigd met een tiende plaats in de Premier League, een achteruitgang met acht plaatsen.
