Changes To Aston Villa Schedule; Villans On International Duty

Thinking ahead to Christmas time? Be aware that three of Villa's fixtures have changed, for three massive games:

Monday, December 6: Away at Anfield, the match against Liverpool will take place at 8pm/12 noon

Sunday, December 26: Boxing Day celebration at Villa Park against Spurs, at 5:30pm/9:30am

Sunday, January 2: We're no longer traveling with hangovers to Stamford Bridge...not that this will make the trip easier. It's scheduled for a 1:30pm kickoff. That's 5:30am west coast time.

And of course, we have Villans stationed around the globe:

England: Ashley Young and Stephen Warnock have been called up for the Euro qualifier against Montenegro.

England U-21s: Marc Albrighton and Nathan Delfouneso for the match against Romania on Friday.

Scotland U-21s: Barry Bannan against Iceland.

Bulgaria: Stiliyan Petrov against a familiar face on Friday...

Wales: James Collins. Will he try to take out his teammate?

Ireland: Richard Dunne against Russia on Friday, and they're trying to get him fit enough to play.

USA: Brad Guzan and, of course, Eric Lichaj are on duty for the friendlies against Poland and Columbia. Will Lichaj finally get his chance? Will Aaron have a heart attack?
