Back in 2002, David O'Leary's Whites were gunning for another Champions League place whilst Graham Taylor's Villa side were on their way to another top-half finish.
The two sides battled it out in the penultimate month of the season at Villa Park and a moment of magic from United's Australian ace striker Mark Viduka proved the difference as part of a 1-0 victory.
Leeds were in their extremely popular yellow 'Strongbow' away kit although the victory was not enough to savour a repeat taste of Champions League football as part of a fifth-placed finish.
Here, via Getty Images and Varleys, we dig out 12 memorable photos of the April 2002 victory at Villa Park.
