Dean Smith's side may have only finished 11th in the table last season, but produced some sublime football along the way to leave fans wanting more.

The 2019/20 season finished less than a month ago and Euro 2020 is in full swing but Aston Villa now knows their fixtures for the 2020/21 Premier League campaign.

Today, the Premier League released all 380 fixtures being played from the weekend of August 14.

That is just 34 days after the Euros final will be played at Wembley Sunday, July 11.

The new Premier League season will end on Sunday, May 22, with all 10 games kicking off at the same time.

Villa are looking to build on an 11th-placed finish last season and plan to strengthen Dean Smith’s squad in the summer transfer window.
