2019–20 Aston Villa F.C. season

The 2019–20 season was Aston Villa's 25th season in the Premier League, and their 106th season in the top flight of English football, following their promotion from the EFL Championship by winning the play-offs. It is the club's 145th year in existence.[1]

On 29 November 2019, midway through his first Premier League season with the club, manager Dean Smith signed a contract extension lasting until 2023.[2]

In the EFL Cup, Villa advanced past Crewe Alexandra of League Two and four Premier League sides in Brighton & Hove Albion, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Liverpool and Leicester City to reach the final at Wembley Stadium; they lost the final 2–1 to Manchester City.[3]

In the league though, Villa were four points deep inside the relegation zone with four games left to play of the 2019–20 season, but pulled off what Smith described as a "magnificent achievement" to clinch survival on the last day with a 1–1 draw at West Ham United.[4][5]
