Aston Villa in the Premier League Summer Series - Live on Sky!

[not3bad]

Sky Sports have announced they will be broadcasting the first-ever Premier League Summer Series as Aston Villa head to the USA for their pre-season friendlies.

The friendly tournament will include six teams: Chelsea, Newcastle, Brighton, Fulham, Brentford and Villa. Five east coast states will host the nine games from July 23 to July 30.

The games will take place at five different stadiums including Lincoln Financial Field (Philadelphia), Mercedes-Benz Stadium (Atlanta), Exploria Stadium (Orlando); Red Bull Arena (New Jersey) and FedExField, Landover (Maryland).

Villa played their first summer friendly at Walsall, drawing 1-1 at the Bescot Stadium last weekend. Unai Emery's side will return to action on Sunday (July 23), kicking off their Stateside tour against Eddie Howe's Newcastle.

I think we should be having match threads and pre and post match threads for the summer series.
Get posters warmed up for the start of the Prem.

I know this is basically Premiership advertising, but it's a little disappointing that the bulk of our preseason is against teams we'll be playing in a few weeks/months anyway.
At least we've got 2 European teams to play afterwards for a bit of something different.

You appear to have come back from the off-season in fine fettle. No summer slacking off for F-V.

He's off for another break, apparently.

What a load of shite...facing-off against the same rabble we'll be in proper competition with in a few weeks time.

It's all about the EPL brand, man.  Load of old bollocks.

It’s billed as a friendly competition, but how do you win the thing?

I’ve been to Philly, back in the 70’s. The City of Brotherly Love ❤️ , with a big sculptural clothespeg in the middle, and some great markets at the time.
What a toddling town! As Frank Sinatra used to sing.

Really liked it. They have boulevards. I stayed there in 1977, it was magic.

There was a city ordinance that nobody could build higher than William Penn’s hat (Which was on a famous statue on top of er…the Town Hall, I think.) Well, someone told me that at the time, it could have been a load of untrue.

So, the very best of luck to our lads and The Villa, for the entire tournament l👍😎🥂

The Philadelphia Lions are getting excited!

Nice to see the effort these people make to recruit new fans far and wide.

Good stuff.

Glad to see the kind words. I call it home now, absolutely love the place and will be in attendance this weekend.

You're not suggesting our Philly Lions know where the dead bodies are buried, are ya?
