Aston Villa have added a friendly date with Bristol City to the club's pre-season schedule.

Dean Smith’s side will travel to the West Country on Saturday, July 31 with kick-off at 1pm at Ashton Gate.

The two sides faced each other in pre-season last year as well as in the third round of the Carabao Cup, with Villa prevailing 3-0 on that occasion.
