The 2009-10 season will be Aston Villa's 135th professional season; their 99th season in the top-flight and their 22nd consecutive season in the top flight of English football, the Premier League. They will be managed by Martin O'Neill - in his fourth season since replacing David O'Leary. The 2009-10 season will be Villa's second consecutive spell in European competition for the club, and the first in the newly-formatted UEFA Europa League.

The Birmingham Derby made a return to the Premier League after local rivals Birmingham City were promoted to the top tier. Villa won the first of two fixtures 1-0 at St Andrew's on September 13, 2009 with Gabriel Agbonlahor scoring the winning goal. Villa will also take on Wolves from nearby Wolverhampton who also join the Premier League.

Villa are without long-term player and former captain Gareth Barry this season following his £12million move to Manchester City on 2 June 2009. Barry had been at the club since 1997.

Kit Changes

The club will once again forgo sponsorship payments to allow Acorns as a charitable sponsor. A new away kit was unveiled on 24 May 2009 and inspired by the England national football team. It features a white and gray halved style with pinstripes and a navy accent, intended to pay tribute to the 67 Villa players that have appeared for the country while at the club.[1] Last season's blue and black away kit also becomes this season's third kit.[2] The new home kit was unveiled the day before the first clash of the Peace Cup 2009, which was against Malaga on Saturday 25 July.[3]
