Aston Villa are back in action with a pre-season friendly against Minnesota United.

You can jump over to Minnesota United’s website to view. If you're in Minneapolis' broadcast area or based on the UK

Today’s opposition is Minnesota United. The match kicks off in Minneapolis at 7pm local time and 1am in the UK. According to their website - the match will not air outside of the Minneapolis-Saint Paul broadcast market. An update states that the match will air in the UK - but not in other markets.

‘The Loons’ are currently in the midst of Major League Soccer’s 2019 season, and will likely field a rotated side. Villa will get to grips with two squads for each half of football. While Minnesota will be backed by a strong home support, plenty of Stateside Villans will be making the trip to the Midwest. Expect a decent reception for the Villa boys.

Minnesota have won their last seven games, but due to rotation - the good folk over at E Pluribus Loonum, SBNation’s Minnesota United blog have predicted a Villa win. We’ll see.

Villa are back!
