Aston Villa will take on Newcastle on the opening weekend of the 2025-26 Premier League season - and be out for revenge after the Magpies pipped them to the post in the Champions League race last campaign.
Fans will be hopeful of a positive start to the new season with trips to Brentford, who are now without manager Thomas Frank, and Everton's new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock sandwiching a home clash with Crystal Palace over their next three games.
However, no team in the Premier League have been given a more challenging end to the 2025-26 campaign as Unai Emery's side, who will play both Liverpool at Villa Park and Manchester City at the Etihad in their final two matches.
