The rest of the opening month then has a distinctive London feel with a trip to Crystal Palace on August 20, before a home match with West Ham on August 27 and a midweek journey to Arsenal on August 30.

The Premier League calendar has a unique look next season with a six-week included due to the winter World Cup in Qatar.

Their season then resumes on Boxing Day with a high-profile home fixture against Liverpool. The rest of the festive period sees them visit Tottenham on New Year’s Eve before hosting Wolves in the West Midlands derby on January 2.

The return fixture at Molineux takes place on May 6, commencing a tough final month which sees Villa host Tottenham and visit Liverpool. Their season concludes with a home match against Brighton on May 28.
