Aston Villa has strongly opposed Tottenham Hotspur's plea to modify the date of their upcoming Premier League encounter in May. The proposed change was aimed at assisting Spurs' European campaign. However, Villa has refused, citing various reasons such as their own busy schedule in April and pre-organised family activities for the final home game of the season. Spurs are in the Europa League semi-finals and were seeking an earlier date, but their request has been turned down.
