Aston Villa's Premier League game against Crystal Palace has been given a bizarre kick off time - but the reason has now been explained.
England's premier competition gets underway this week when defending champions Liverpool kick off their campaign against Bournemouth at Anfield on Friday evening.
Aston Villa, meanwhile, are one of the sides who have a more favourable fixture run at the start of the season, but do face a tough opener at home the Newcastle - though they will be without Alexander Isak.
In gameweek three, meanwhile, they will take on Crystal Palace at Villa Park in their second hand match of the season, but the kick off time and date has been changed to Sunday evening.
