Spurs raised concerns over the scheduling of the game due to their potential participation in the Europa League final a few days later.
The north Londoners officially requested that the Premier League bring the match forward to Thursday, May 15.
Villa, however, vehemently objected to the request.
But Prem chiefs have granted Spurs' wish and moved the match forward to Friday, May 16, the Telegraph have claimed.
