Aston Villa will lock horns with Tottenham Hotspur on the opening day of the new Premier League campaign.
Alan Hutton has reminisced about his solo goal for Aston Villa against Hull City last season as he wished the team good luck ahead of their Premier League opener against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.
On this day last season, Villa were beating Hull City 3-1 in the Championship, with Hutton netting a superb solo goal, and Jack Grealish leaving the pitch thinking it was his final game for the club because Tottenham were keen on his services.
Well, nothing materialised, Grealish stayed on, and along with Hutton, they guided Villa back to the big time as a big test awaits them against the Champions League finalists.
After Hutton posted a message on his personal Instagram account about Villa, playmaker Grealish, along with a number of his teammates, responded to his message.
Following Villa’s promotion to the Premier League, Hutton was released by Villa following the expiry of his contract and he is yet to find a new club.
Of course, as a free agent, he can sign a permanent contract with a team at any time, but with the new season already underway, he will want to join a team, as quick as possible.
In the meantime, the Scotsman will watch two of his former clubs in Tottenham and Villa lock horns at the weekend, with Grealish hoping to be the star of the show.
