Aston Villa begin their 2024/25 campaign by facing West Ham away from home on the opening weekend of the Premier League. The fixture is scheduled to kick off at 17:30 on Saturday 17th August.
Villans across the world will be looking at the first six fixtures of the season with firm belief that it is a reasonable beginning to the year.
After West Ham on the opening day, the Villans will face Arsenal at Villa Park and Leicester City away.
September kicks off with Everton paying a visit to Villa Park, before Unai Emery side will host Wolverhampton Wanderers. The month will be rounded off with an away trip to newly promoted Ipswich Town.
Playing two newly promoted sides within the opening six matches looks pleasing to the eye, however no side is to be taken for granted in the world famous Premier League.
With the addition of Champions League football to Villa's calendar this coming season, squad rotation will be key to their success.
Therefore seeing the same XI week in, week out will be a rare sighting. Team selection looks to provide Unai Emery with some headaches.
November is set to be a tough period for Villa as it includes tough away encounters against Tottenham and Liverpool.
It doesn't ease off for Unai Emery who will have to then prepare his side for Crystal Palace at home, followed up by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge to finish off a packed month.
The December period will see plenty more fascinating encounters for Aston Villa as they will face Manchester City, just a few days before Christmas Eve.
Their first game after Christmas will be a Boxing Day trip to Tyneside to face Eddie Howe's Newcastle.
2025 begins with a test against another one of the newly promoted sides in Leicester City at Villa Park.
It will only get worse for Villans, with two eye-opening tests away at Everton and Arsenal just few days later.
March looks to be a rare relaxing period for Villa with only two league games currently scheduled - Brentford away and Liverpool travelling to Villa Park.
A challenging end to the season kicks off with a trip to the Etihad Stadium on the 26th of April to face Man City.
The final two fixtures will see Tottenham make the journey up to Villa Park, capped off with Manchester United away to finish the season.
The league campaign is set to finish on the 25th of May.
