Aston Villa vs Wolverhampton, 5.30pm GMT

Preview:

Wolves will be happy Jack Grealish is unavailable for Aston Villa for a fourth successive game. They are much less threatening without the playmaker but goals were drying up shortly before his injury too. Five in their past seven compared with 33 in 18 matches preceding the lean spell should give Nuno Espírito Santo further confidence. Wolves have hardly been prolific themselves but a victory over their West Midlands rivals, also still missing the key defender Matty Cash, could be all the incentive they need. Villa’s impressive season could risk ending with a whimper if they struggle again.

Aston Villa’s surprise defeat to Sheffield United in midweek left a serious dent in any hopes they had of reaching the top-six this season. For Wolves, they worried Manchester City but were ultimately beaten 4-1 by the Premier League champions-elect – it’s been a disappointing campaign for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side compared with their previous standards.

 

Prediction:

Wolves Win + BTTS @9/2

(But If Grealish is Back Villa could edge it)
