Wolves vs Aston Villa – Predicted lineup and team news

Wolves host local rivals Aston Villa at Molineux tonight as they aim to secure only their second win of a gruelling Premier League campaign.

The Old Gold have moved into a desperate phase of their season, sitting bottom of the table with only 10 points after 28 games. Manager Rob Edwards oversaw a positive performance at Crystal Palace last time out but was left frustrated by a 1–0 defeat. Notably, Wolves have won four of their last six Premier League home games against Villa and are unbeaten in this fixture at Molineux since December 2020.

Wolves Team News

Rob Edwards manages a squad dealing with a fresh suspension while monitoring a key attacking return. Notably, Ladislav Krejci is unavailable following his red card at Selhurst Park. Consequently, captain Toti is poised to make his first start since December. Hwang Hee-chan is nearing a return from a calf injury but is unlikely to be risked tonight. Notably, no Wolves player has scored more than twice in the league this season, the latest a team has reached that unwanted milestone in Premier League history.

José Sá will start in goal behind a back three likely featuring Yerson Mosquera and Santiago Bueno. In midfield, André and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde are expected to anchor the side, with Jackson Tchatchoua and Hugo Bueno providing width as wing-backs. Angel Gomes and the in-demand Mateus Mane will support Armstrong in attack. Notably, Wolves have conceded the first goal in 22 different games this season, more than any other side in the division.
