ASTON VILLA PREVIEW: POSITIVE WEEK FOR EMERY'S MEN
Aston Villa are once again looking like a force to be reckoned with this season with Unai Emery's men having won four of their five competitive games in 2024-25. Last Saturday's Premier League encounter saw them win 3-2 after going two goals down against Everton, with super sub Jhon Duran scoring an sensational winner to continue his excellent form off the bench.
The Villans followed that up with a fine 0-3 win away at Young Boys, in what was their first foray into the top level of European football since the 1982-83 season.
WOLVES PREVIEW: NIGHTMARE FIXTURE RUN
In contrast to their midland rivals, Wolves endured a tough week having lost to Newcastle last Sunday having led with 15 minutes to go, while they were eliminated from the League Cup on Wednesday when they went down 3-2 to fellow Premier League outfit Brighton.
In fairness to Wolves, they have had arguably the toughest fixture run of all Premier League teams so far, but they have very little to show for their efforts with Gary O'Neil's men having collected just a single point so far.

ASTON VILLA VS WOLVES PREDICTION
This particular west midlands derby has been a tight affair over the past two seasons, with the last four meetings between the two each producing under three goals. This one could buck the trend however, as Villa are starting to find the net with regularity, while only bottom-side Everton have conceded more goals than Wolves heading into the weekend's fixtures. With this in mind, in-form Villa can be fancied to claim the three points in a game featuring over 2.5 goals.
