Spartak Trnava vs Aston Villa: Live stream, TV channel, kick-off time & where to watch

Aston Villa continue their pre-season campaign with a trip to Slovakia to face FC Spartak Trnava on Saturday.

Unai Emery’s side are ramping up their preparations for the Premier League campaign with Champions League football also returning.

Morgan Rogers' first-half brace helped the Lions open their pre-season schedule with a 3-0 victory at Walsall.

Spartak Trnava, meanwhile, competed in Slovakia's top flight, finishing in third place last season, but they were champions during the 2017-18 campaign.

Michal Gasparik's side finished their last league season in mid-May and were back in pre-season action on June 22, suffering a 2-1 defeat to Maribor before losing to Bravo and Sparta Prague. They did play out a 1-1 draw with Hartberg last time out.
