US EditionAston Villa officials unhappy with Premier League fixture change, citing 'prejudice'
- Aston Villa representatives voiced their dissatisfaction after the Premier League moved their game against Tottenham from Sunday, May 18 to Friday, May 16 at Villa Park.
- The change aimed to give Tottenham more recovery time before the Europa League final in Bilbao, five days after the new fixture date, though Villa officials cited prejudice and disruption to fans.
- Villa, currently seventh in the Premier League, faces a tight race for four Champions League qualification spots against five rivals and now has two fewer days to prepare for Tottenham.
- Monchi, Villa's football operations president, called the rescheduling the "least damaging alternative" but said "our fans didn't deserve it," while director Damian Vidagany accused a "clear prejudice" against Villa fans.
- This fixture adjustment, unprecedented in the Premier League though common elsewhere, may influence preparation and competitive balance ahead of critical end-of-season matches for English clubs in Europe.
