Aston Villa, Recent FormAston Villa will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-0 away win against Tottenham Hotspur. Their share of possession in that meeting was 41%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Tottenham Hotspur, who had 6 shots on goal with 2 on target.
With 12 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, their manager Unai Emery will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 9 goals in the same period. They have shown that they have a consistent appetite for goals at home of late, having clocked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches at Villa Park. The defensive quality of his current squad will be troubling Emery of late, his defence having only notched up 2 clean sheets from their last 6 home games.
They have had a good run of form recently, winning 4 out of their last 6 games.
Danny Ings will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Aston Villa.
Wolverhampton Wanderers, Recent FormLosing 1-0 home to Manchester United won't leave the Wolverhampton Wanderers squad too downbeat, given the former sits a full 14 places above them in the league. In that game they recorded 46 of the possession, with 10 attempts on goal, 3 on target. Their opponents found the target on 6 of their 16 shots on goal.
Supremo Julen Lopetegui will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 12 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 5 goals they've managed to net. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games. They have undoubtedly struggled to find the back of the net regularly this season, having failed to score a goal in 9 of their 17 league matches.
They will be looking to try and improve on a largely bad set of recent results that have seen them defeated in 4 of their last 6 league matches, with just a single victory recorded. It's fair to say they'll need a serious change of form if they want to start moving up the table. So far this season, the bulk of their league games on the road have ended in disappointment, having won just 1 of their first 8 away games.
It was not a positive ending for Aston Villa last time they met Wolverhampton Wanderers in the league, with the game ending in a 2-1 defeat.
Playing at home, Aston Villa have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Wolves. Playing away from home, Wolves have kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 3 league games against Aston Villa.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams, Wolves has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Aston Villa in 3 games.
Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Diego Carlos (Achilles tendon), Emiliano Martínez (Knock) and Jacob Ramsey (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Saša Kalajdžić (Cruciate ligament) and Pedro Neto (Ankle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Julen Lopetegui will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
