Stan Collymore says he is very happy that Aston Villa play Tottenham Hotspur first next season

Aston Villa start life back in the English Premier League with a clash against Tottenham Hotspur in the opening weekend of 2019-20.

The newly-promoted side visit the North Londoners on the 10th of August, and it is a stiff test for them as far as starting the campaign goes.

Manager Dean Smith has said he plans leaving the Etihad Stadium and Anfield with three points each next season, and getting a result against Spurs will send a message to Manchester City, Liverpool and the bigwigs.

Former Villa star Stan Collymore can’t wait for next season to start, and he has explained why he is very happy for the Villans to start their campaign with a clash with Tottenham.
