The 2020–21 Premier League season was Aston Villa's 146th season in English football. It was the club's 26th season in the Premier League and their 107th season at the top flight. In addition to the domestic league, Aston Villa participated in the EFL Cup, being eliminated by Stoke City in the fourth round, and participated in the FA Cup, being eliminated by Liverpool in the third round.

Contents

The entire season took place against the backdrop of the global COVID-19 pandemic, which necessitated the players' compliance with strict restrictions on contact as well as a lack of fans at all Villa's home matches until the final day of the campaign.

Villa started the season with four successive league wins, matching a record which had stood since the 1930-31 season. Other notable statistics included inflicting a 7-2 victory over defending champions Liverpool, the most goals conceded in a single game by a defending champion since 1953.

Matches

The 2020–21 season fixtures were released on 20 August. [58] The 2020–21 season officially began on 12 September 2020. However, clubs who had participated in the latter rearranged knockout rounds of the previous season's Champions League and Europa League competitions in August 2020 were allowed a further week to rest and prepare their squads for the new season. Villa's match away to Manchester City, originally scheduled for gameweek 1, was therefore postponed until later in the season, and Villa instead started their campaign on the following Monday night at home to Sheffield United. The Man City away fixture was eventually rearranged for 20 January 2021.

FA Cup

Aston Villa joined the FA Cup along with all other Premier League teams in the third round. The third round draw was made on 30 November 2020, by Robbie Savage on the BT Sport YouTube channel. [65] In the week building up to their third round tie against Liverpool, there was a "significant" COVID-19 outbreak at Villa's Bodymoor Heath Training Ground. Because of this, the entire Aston Villa first team was forced to self-isolate, as well as Dean Smith and his backroom staff. [66] On the morning of 8 January 2021, Aston Villa confirmed that they would be forced to field a team made up of players from the Under-18s and Under-23s squads, managed by Mark Delaney. [67]
