Tony Xia says he will be travelling to watch Aston Villa later this month.
Aston Villa owner Tony Xia has taken to Twitter to confirm that the next he will be watching the club is when they host Cardiff City later this month.

Bruce is yet to be beaten in his first five games, and Villa now lie just five points of the play-offs, with Bruce helping Villa overcome a slow start to the season under predecessor Roberto Di Matteo.
The Mirror claim that Villa will back Bruce in the transfer market during the January transfer window, with owner Tony Xia still prepared to throw money at Villa’s squad even after splashing out for the likes of James Chester, Mile Jedinak, Ross McCormack and Jonathan Kodjia over the summer.
