Aston Villa see two fixtures moved for TV coverage

The Villans trip to Barnsley on Saturday September 16th will now kick-off at 5.30pm - as Conor Hourihane and James Bree both play against their former club.

Meanwhile, the club's clash with Nottingham Forest on Saturday September 23rd has also been pushed back to a 5.30pm kick-off.

The move means Steve Bruce's side will feature on Sky over two straight weekends.

Villa have already seen three games picked for coverage in August, with the season opener against Hull City, away trip to Bristol City and Carabao Cup clash with Colchester all being broadcast live.
