Watch the Premier League in Australia from AU$7 a month
Optus Sport
Aston Villa is pushing for a top-five finish in the English Premier League on Friday as it hosts a Tottenham team that appears to be distracted by its upcoming Europa League Final against Man United.
Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game as it happens, wherever you are in the world, and how to use a VPN if the match isn’t available where you are.
Currently sitting in sixth place, the Villans secured European football for next season with a narrow 1-0 away win at Bournemouth last weekend. However, Unai Emery’s men will be hoping to replicate last season’s success and clinch a coveted Champions League spot.
Preoccupied Spurs, meanwhile, look in danger of finishing one spot above the relegation zone after their abysmal recent run of domestic form was extended with last weekend’s 2-0 defeat at home to Crystal Palace.
Aston Villa take on Tottenham on Friday, May 16, at Villa Park in Birmingham, with kickoff set for 7:30 p.m. BST local time. That makes it a 2:30 p.m. ET or 11:30 a.m. PT start in the US and Canada, and a 4:30a.m. AEST kickoff in Australia on Saturday morning.
