Aston Villa will have to wait longer than most to get their season underway with their opener against Manchester City having been postponed due to their opponents finishing last season later than others.

A home tie with Sheffield United on September 19 will be their first outing of the campaign, then, before visiting newly-promoted Fulham later in the month.

It looks like being a difficult end to the season, with Liverpool and Manchester City back to back in April and Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea in three of their last four games.
