Villa v Spurs to be brought forward over Europa final

Tottenham Hotspur's Premier League game at Aston Villa is set to be brought forward two days to 16 May to allow Spurs extra time to prepare for their possible appearance in the Europa League final.

Spurs were scheduled to travel to Villa Park on 18 May at 14:15 BST but submitted a request to the Premier League for the game to be played earlier in order for Ange Postecoglou's side to have longer to prepare should they reach the Europa League final on 21 May.

Tottenham are 3-1 ahead in their semi-final against Bodo/Glimt and could meet Manchester United, who are 3-0 up in their tie versus Athletic Bilbao, in the final.
