Aston Villa travel to Molineux to face Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday afternoon in a West Midlands derby. Unai Emery's side last won 3-1 at Villa Park in September last year.
Latest Wolverhampton vs Aston Villa team information
Wolves will be without Sasa Kalajdzic, Boubacar Traore, Enso Gonzalez, Yerson Mosquera and Carlos Forbs, all with knee injuries. Midfielder Mario Lemina remains out of the first-team squad with his future uncertain, while Joao Gomes is also suspended. With Toti Gomes now fully recovered from injury, he could return to the starting line-up alongside Santiago Bueno and Emmanuel Agbadou. Tommy Doyle could be given the chance to replace Joao Gomes. Wolves' attack could also be without a man after Jorgen Strand Larsen picked up an injury in the last game. Hwang Hee-chan and Matheus Cunha could take on the up-front duties if Strand Larsen does not recover in time.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa have a few injury concerns, with Matty Cash likely to be sidelined after picking up a calf injury against Celtic in midweek, while Tyrone Mings, Pau Torres, Amadou Onana and Ross Barkley are all injured. Although Donyell Malen missed the European tie, Dortmund's new signing is fully fit and ready to start. Watkins will continue to lead the line despite recent speculation. Ian Maatsen or Lamare Bogarde could be relied upon to start at right-back. Unai Emery can still rely on Boubacar Kamara at centre-back, with Ezri Konsa performing well alongside him. Lucas Digne will start at left-back, meanwhile.

Latest football commentary Wolverhampton vs Aston Villa
Since a 2-0 win over Manchester United at Molineux last December, Wolves have picked up just one point from their last five Premier League games, drawing with Tottenham and suffering four defeats by a combined score of 10-1.
It is worth mentioning that Wolves' defeats have come against big opponents such as Nottingham Forest, Newcastle, Chelsea and Arsenal. Wolves also lost at home to Arsenal recently, despite the opponent playing with one less player for most of the second half but still suffered a defeat in the end.
Coach Vitor Pereira also said that Wolves "missed a great opportunity to win" against Arsenal. This defeat was Wolves' 15th defeat in the Premier League this season and is showing the difficulties that are piling up, especially after Leicester's previous victory. Sad records are also being created in the past matches of the Molineux home team. Wolves will have to play better to stay in the Premier League when other teams are also trying. At the moment, their form is very disappointing with too many losses and are also facing the loss of a key player. Wolves are also conceding too many goals, having conceded 52 goals and this is an alarming number, especially when in the 1932-33 season, they only conceded an average of 2.29 goals/match.
Aston Villa, however, are in fine form this season, having just beaten Celtic 4-2 and are certain to progress to the Champions League this season. Morgan Rogers' hat-trick has given them a boost heading into the domestic competition. They are in an exciting period, with the players playing with confidence, with key players such as Ollie Watkins, Lucas Digne and Donyell Malen stepping up to the plate. Unai Emery will be keen to see his side repeat their first-leg win over Wolves in this weekend's clash. In addition to their impressive away results in Europe, Emery's side have shown great character in their games, turning things around. With an impressive unbeaten run against weaker sides, the Midlands fans can be confident against a Wolves side who are in poor form in the upcoming fixture.
