Villa are set for a hectic schedule in the next two weeks with five games in the space of 14 days.
This weekend's home clash against Ipswich Town, is followed by a midweek home game against leaders Liverpool.
They then welcome Chelsea before another midweek league game at Crystal Palace. They then finish their busy schedule with their FA Cup tie against Cardiff City.
Due to their schedule Villa put in an official request to the Premier League to move next week's midweek fixture with Liverpool to another date.
The club proposed to play the rearranged game at the end of March, as they only have one schedule league fixture in that month.
The game has already been moved to next week from March 15, due to the fact it clashes with the Carabao Cup final weekend.
But according to The Telegraph, the Premier League has rejected Villa's request to move the game.
Elsewhere, Villa's FA Cup fifth round tie against Cardiff City will be played on a Friday February 28, at 8pm.
