Tottenham fixture moved to help prepare for potential Europa League final vs Man Utd
We could have an all-English final on our hands.
Tottenham’s Premier League clash against Aston Villa has been moved to help Ange Postecoglou’s side in their preparations for a potential Europa League final against Manchester United.
Spurs were scheduled to take on Villa on Sunday 18 May with United in action against Chelsea on Friday 16 May.
The Europa League final takes place on Wednesday 21 May in Bilbao.
The Premier League have now approved Tottenham’s request to reschedule the fixture at Villa Park to ensure they have the same preparation time as United – should both sides progress to the final.
Tottenham and United will now be in action on the same night against Villa and Chelsea respectively on the Friday, giving both sides four full days to prepare.
