Saturday 9th April 2022 Premier League @Villa Park, Birmingham KO: 17:30 GMT Aston Villa return to Villa Park looking to upset the form books as they face Tottenham in the late kickoff. The teams come into the game in contrasting form with Villa off the back of three straight defeats and Tottenham having won their last three and in pole position to grab what felt like an unlikely 4th place spot. Villa put in an abject performance away to Wolves last weekend and Tottenham thrashed Newcastle United 5-1 following wins at home to West Ham and away to Brighton and…
*Please note that full meeting notes are likely to be provided early next week and below is a brief statement to pass on in anticipation of these due to the amount of supporter enquiries around ticketing. The club presented the Fans Consultation Group with the results of a detailed, strategic review of Aston Villa’s pricing from the last decade and benchmarked these findings against a wide range of Premier League clubs and events. The conclusions of these findings are likely to result in the club moving towards a simplification of both concession rates and the zoning system with an additional…
Saturday 2nd April 2022 Premier League @Molineux, Wolverhampton KO: 15:00 GMT Premier League football returns following the international break as Aston Villa make the short trip to take on Wolves in a Midlands derby. Both sides come into the game in mixed form with both sides losing their last fixtures against Leeds and Arsenal respectively. Villa lost their last two games at home to Arsenal and away to West Ham following a run of three straight wins and three clean sheets. Wolves defeat to Leeds United followed two wins against Everton and Watford and two losses to Crystal Palace and…
Saturday 19th March 2022 Premier League @Villa Park, Birmingham KO: 12:30 GMT Aston Villa return to action in the early kick off as they welcome Arsenal to Villa Park. A recent upturn in form for Villa was halted with a narrow 2-1 defeat to West Ham last weekend and they will be keen to test themselves against a much improved Arsenal compared to recent seasons. Arsenal come into the game off the back of a 2-0 defeat to Liverpool which ended a run of five straight wins. Mikel Arteta has repeatedly told fans to trust the process as he aims…
Sunday 13th March 2022 Premier League @London Stadium, London KO: 14:00 GMT Aston Villa head to London in buoyant spirit as they look continue their fine form against West Ham United. Villa’s 3-0 midweek victory away to Leeds United came on the back of a 4-0 win at home to Southampton and a 1-0 win away to Brighton. West Ham come into the game having lost three in a row in all competitions losing 3-1 away to Southampton, 1-0 away to Liverpool and in the week they lost 1-0 away to Sevilla in the Europa League. With them still being…
Saturday 5th March 2022 Premier League @Villa Park, Birmingham KO: 15:00 GMT Aston Villa return home to Villa Park looking to try and build some momentum following a 2-0 victory over Brighton last week. A much needed win and a strong performance moved Villa on to 30 points as they look to gain what they can between now and the end of the season in preparation for next season. Announcements in the week regarding the development of Villa Park and the facilities in and around the ground point to an expectation and huge push next season. The club will need…
Saturday 26th February 2022 Premier League @AMEX Stadium, Brighton KO: 15:00 GMT Aston Villa make the trip down to the south coast today in need of something from the game against Brighton and Hove Albion. Villa’s abysmal 1-0 defeat at home to Watford last week means they have picked up just one win in their last seven games and if form does not pick up very quickly they could conceivably find themselves being dragged down towards the bottom three. Brighton have six points from their last six games but only one win and come into the game off the back…
Saturday 19th February 2022 Premier League @Villa Park, Birmingham KO: 15:00 GMT Aston Villa return to Villa Park looking for a much needed win over a struggling Watford side that are desperately in need of points themselves. Villa’s 1-0 loss away to a revitalised Newcastle United showed up some worrying performances from numerous players and it means just one win in the last six games. Watford last won in November and find themselves bottom of the form table with just one point from their last six games. With Steven Gerrard looking to build a strong side for next season he…
Sunday 13th February 2022 Premier League @St James Park, Newcastle KO: 14:00 GMT Aston Villa make the trip up to the North East for the afternoon kickoff to take on a Newcastle United side who are looking to continue to pull away from the bottom three. The Magpies comfortably beat Everton 3-1 during midweek and find themselves out the relegation zone for the first time since October. With the well publicised takeover and the addition of players such as Kieran Trippier and Bruno Guimaraes, you’d have to think they have turned a corner and will stay up. Villa had a…
Saturday 15th January 2022 Premier League @Villa Park, Birmingham KO: 17:30 GMT Aston Villa and Manchester United meet for the second time in just six days in the late game today. Villa were edged out of the F.A. Cup tie on Monday as they lost 1-0 but should be more than proud of the performance they put in which saw VAR prevent them from at least taking the game into extra time and in regards to key chances they will feel they deserved to win the tie inside the 90 minutes. It has been an exciting week for Villa fans…
