Tottenham Hotspur's Premier League fixture against Aston Villa has been rescheduled to May 16, the English top flight said on Tuesday, allowing the North London club more time to prepare for a potential Europa League final.

Ruben Amorim’s men are expected to progress to the showpiece occasion and are on course to meet Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the final. Ange Postecoglou’s side take a two goal advantage to Norway and are favourites to get past the competition’s surprise package Bodo/Glimt to secure their ticket to Bilbao.

Tottenham's fixture against Aston Villa has been moved forward by two days, due to their potential Europa League final appearance. The game was scheduled to kick off at 2.15pm on Sunday 18 May, but has moved to Friday 16 May at 7.
