Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Aston Villa: Premier League preview

Where Wolves' woes are absolute – in Premier League terms at least – Villa's are more immediate. Failing to secure Champions League football from their current position would be frustrating in the extreme.

Unai Emery will be desperate to brush off Villa's recent difficulties and guard against complacency at Molineux, where there might be a gulf between the two squads but the visitors' record is less than stellar.

Since Wolves' relegation in 2012, a fall nudged along by a Villa brace from former Old Gold favourite Robbie Keane, these sides have been together in the Championship or Premier League in eight seasons.

Villa have won at Molineux only once in that time and it was empty. Anwar El Ghazi's stoppage-time penalty in December 2020 concluded an ill-tempered affair.

Wolves' recent home record against Villa might be thin gruel in terms of hopes for the season overall but it does offer a positive ahead of a Friday night Premier League fixture they'd love to win.

Their improvement under former Villa defender Rob Edwards has been pronounced but not productive, and fans can point to their away game at Villa Park as a case in point.

The Black Country side were better in that game at the end of November than anything they produced this season prior to the departure of Vitor Pereira but left with nothing.

Boubacar Kamara scored an outstanding goal for Villa against their fellow West Midlands team and his absence, along with those of Youri Tielemans and John McGinn, is casting a shadow over Emery's plans.

FourFourTwo's prediction

Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 Aston Villa

A full-strength, fit and firing Villa team would laugh in the face of their record across the county. This Villa team is not that.
