VILLA SPARK

ASTON VILLA claim there has been “clear prejudice" after they reluctantly accepted the fixture change against Tottenham.

Villa's football chiefs were upset last week after learning that Spurs were trying to move their clash at Villa Park.

The club were annoyed that extra consideration was being given to their opponents - and none to their own fans - as they again came down on the wrong side of the listings.

And Villa have argued once again that their supporters have been inconvenienced by the short notice period after the Premier League agreed to move the game forward by 48 hours.

It will now take place on the night of Friday, May 16, instead of two days later, to help Spurs, should they complete the job against Bodo/Glimt and reach the Europa League final.
