How to watch Aston Villa v Sunderland in the UK: kick-off time, live streaming and TV channels
Aston Villa v Sunderland encounter is set to kick off this Sunday after their European fixture.
Aston Villa has sealed one place in the Europa League final four this midweek. They had no difficulty in getting past their opposition, Bologna 4-0 at home, which gave them a commanding aggregate of 7-1.
This weekend, they are back in Villa Park for the next Premier League fixture. Ollie Watkins and Co. are playing host to Sunderland. It is likely to be a quite challenging, as they have been performing well, especially at the beginning of the season. They were able to sit in the top six, even on the top four.
Unai Emery expected his team to stay focused for their Premier League game after their continental games. Finishing high on the top flight is still their main priority. They are currently sitting fourth with 55 points, sharing the same point as Manchester United on the third.
On the contrary, the Black Cats are sitting 10th in the standings with 46 points, only two points adrift from Chelsea on the seventh. They clinched a narrow 1-0 win over the struggling Tottenham.
Villa need to be careful as Regis Le Bris’ men still have the potential to pick up points as they humiliated Newcastle United in a 2-1 win prior to the international break. Most importantly, they have no fixtures in the midweek. Such gives them an advantage in physical fitness and resting days over The Lions from their last outing.
In the reverse fixture, both sides only shared spoils in a 1-1 draw in Stadium of Light. Unai Emery’s men are well aware Sunderland’s threat this season.
