THE LOWDOWN
WOLVES
- Wolves have had two weeks to recover from a desperately disappointing defeat against Leeds Utd, which saw them two goals ahead until the sending off of Raul Jimenez ultimately led to them losing 2-3.
- Jimenez is suspended for this match and Wolves are expected to be without both Ki-Jana Hoever and midfielder Ruben Neves, although in better news both Pedro Neto and Nelson Semedo could be fit enough to feature.
ASTON VILLA
- Aston Villa are coming off the back of consecutive defeats and can’t afford to slip up again here with a gap of just three points between themselves in eighth-place and Brighton in 13th-place.
- Midfielder Marvelous Nakamba remains unavailable for Villa due to injury but other than that head coach Steven Gerrard will be hoping to have a fully-fit squad at his disposal.

THE PREDICTION
Neither of these two teams are in the best of form and both will be desperate to get themselves back to winning ways in what will be played in front of a vocal home crowd. This match will mean a great deal to both sets of supporters and neither can afford to lose. With that in mind, a cagey affair may be on the cards as whilst Wolves are a strong side defensively, the lack of both Neves and Jimenez is likely to blunt them going forward. When you also factor in Aston Villa scoring just one goal across their last two games and they may struggle to break this Wolves unit down. Therefore, consider backing under 2.5 goals scored in this one.
Tip: UNDER 2.5 GOALS
