Narrative:
Reviewing the logbook during preflight; I noticed that the inbound crew from the night before wrote up the right engine valve light. ZZZ maintenance had a signed off entry that said that it removed and replaced the valve with it; checked and ok for service. Operating the anti-ice valve during the approach to ZZZ1; we had a repeat of the problem with the right engine valve light on with switch on. At the gate; reentering the grip into the logbook it then became obvious why we had a repeat of the problem. ZZZ maintenance didnT' replace the engine valve; they replaced the start valve! I obviously missed this in ZZZ during the origination preflight because I assumed they replaced the proper valve.
