Things are looking worse for Wolves by the week, can Aston Villa compile the misery?
14:05 Sunday
Aston Villa, currently sitting in a Champions League qualification spot, will host bottom-of-the-table Wolves in a Premier League clash at Villa Park on Sunday.
Aston Villa vs Wolves Form & Head to Head
Aston Villa are enjoying a rich vein of form, having won their last league match away at Leeds 2-1. That victory means that the Villains have won six of their last seven Premier League matches.
Wolves, on the other hand, are struggling, they lost their last match 2-0 at home to Crystal Palace. That loss means that the Wanderers have failed to win any of their last six matches, and are ranked last in the Premier League form table.
The previous meeting between these two sides saw Wolves beat Aston Villa 2-0 at home.
Across the last six encounters, the head-to-head record is evenly split, with Aston Villa and Wolves each claiming two victories and two draws.

Aston Villa vs Wolves Team News

Aston Villa vs Wolves Match Prediction
- Aston Villa's incredible turnaround in form has shown no signs of letting up with the comeback victory at Leeds making it six wins in seven Premier League games - taking them from 18th to fourth in just two months.
- On paper, this could hardly be an easier fixture for Unai Emery's side but they've struggled against their Midlands rivals in recent years, winning just two of their last nine meetings.
- Wolves might have a new manager in the shape of Rob Edwards, but it was a familiar story in his first game in charge against Crystal Palace last weekend after they suffered a 10th defeat in 12 games.
- They are already nine points from safety with an inferior goal difference compared to their relegation rivals and with the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool on the horizon, Edwards' side need to get a move on.
