Christian Purslow: Aston Villa chief against neutral venues plan


Villa midfielder Jack Grealish has scored three of his seven league goals at home this seasonAston Villa chief executive Christian Purslow is against playing the remaining Premier League fixtures at neutral grounds to complete the season. Top-flight clubs have been told that using up to 10 neutral stadiums will be the only way to finish the campaign. League Managers Association chief executive Richard Bevan has said the 2019-20 Premier League season could be cancelled if clubs do not agree to play in neutral venues. Brighton have already said they are "not in favour" of the idea of using neutral venues as it may affect the "integrity" of the league, with West Ham also reportedly not in favour. However, a growing number of Premier League clubs are open to playing the remaining fixtures at neutral venues but with the threat of relegation removed.
