Dean Smith’s men sit deep in the relegation mire but have earned two credible points from three Premier League fixtures since the season restart this summer.

Yet victory is paramount here on Saturday and Villa will be out to shut down their free-flowing rivals.

On the other hand, Wolves are pushing for an unlikely Champions League spot and have won both of their games since the coronavirus hiatus ended.

Victory here will take them three points above Manchester United in fourth and firmly in control of their own destiny.

Aston Villa v Wolves team news

Aston Villa: Danny Drinkwater and Frederic Guilbert didn’t feature in the 1-1 draw with Newcastle in midweek but both could return to the Villa side here.

John McGinn is yet to finish a game for Villa this summer but could start once again, even if he doesn't see through 90 minutes.

Wolves: Nuno Espirito Santo had a full-strength side to choose from against Bournemouth in midweek and hasn’t picked up any fresh concerns, so player fatigue is the only headache coming into this clash.

Pedro Neto may get a start ahead of Diogo Jota after replacing the Portuguese in each of the last two outings. Leander Dendoncker could come back into the XI after starting on the bench last time out.

Aston Villa v Wolves prediction

Villa need a win here to keep their heads above water but face a Wolves side in full flow right now.

Wolves have the carrot of a Champions League spot within their grasp and the clichéd ‘home advantage’ in a derby such as this will count for little without a crowd to spur Villa on.

The hosts will certainly hope to tighten up this game and make it hard for Wolves’ attacking players to flourish. Whether they can stop the likes of Raul Jimenez over 90 minutes remains to be seen.

Our prediction: Aston Villa 1-2 Wolves
