Aston Villa to play clips of cheering fans on advertising hoardings to boost atmosphere and mark first game of Premier League restart with mosaic

Aston Villa plan to mark the first game of the Premier League restart with a fan mosaic as they prepare to face Sheffield United.

Villa Park will host the first official game – a 6pm kick-off on June 17 – since the league was suspended on March 13, and they plan to use social media, video messages and flags to create an atmosphere in the absence of supporters.

Fans have been invited to send in short videos of themselves cheering on the team, while the stands will also be adorned by flags and banners to greet the players.
