Aston Villa are objecting to the Premier League over a potential scheduling change for their home game against Tottenham Hotspur. The league fixture is due to be played on Sunday, May 18 but Tottenham said in a statement on Sunday that they are in discussions with the Premier League to change the date.

Marcus Rashford is expected to miss the rest of season for Aston Villa with a hamstring injury in a huge blow for Unai Emery’s side. The Manchester United loanee was surprisingly missing from Villa’s squad when they took on Crystal Palace in the FA Cup semi-final on Saturday.

Aston Villa have written to the Premier League to formally oppose Tottenham's request to reschedule the clubs' meeting on Sunday, May 18. Spurs have requested the match be moved to aid their chances in a potential Europa League final,
