The Bucks will take on the Championship side on Saturday, July 14 (kick-off 3pm).

Last year, Steve Bruce's Villa side won 4-0 at the New Bucks Head thanks to a Henri Lansbury brace and strikes from Callum O'Hare and Gabriel Agbonlahor.

Villa won 2-1 in 2016 too, through late goals from Jordan Ayew and Aly Cissohko. Dave Hibbert got the goal for Telford.
