Aston Villa will hope to end a run of just one win in five games when they arrive at Molineux to face Wolves in Saturday’s early kick off.

Villa’s clash with Newcastle last week was postponed due to coronavirus but Dean Smith’s side still sit 12th in the table, despite having played two fewer Premier League fixtures than most of their rivals.

The visitors can leapfrog Wolves with a win here and push towards the European places – but Nuno Espirito Santo’s men are also looking to kick on.

Wolves may have been outplayed in their 4-0 loss to Liverpool last week but their brand of steady, contained football has served them well so far this season.

And having beaten Villa in both of their league meetings last season, Saturday’s hosts will head into the derby no doubt seeking three more points too, meaning this game could go either way.

Saturday sees two teams that have already hit top form and suffered big defeats this season come together at Molineux – and this clash really could go either way.

Both managers will hope to exploit weaknesses in the others’ arsenal and seek to control the midfield battle early on.
