Aston Villa Form

Villa have won three of their last five Premier League matches and three of their last five at home too and will welcome a return to Villa Park.
Aston Villa Injuries and Team News
Villa captain Jack Grealish remains doubtful ahead of the Wolves game due to a lower leg injury. Grealish has missed the last two games, but is set to return to training this week.
Matty Cash, Kortney Hause and Wesley are all ruled out for Villa this weekend.
With a lack of goals scored in recent games, Dean Smith could be tempted to bring Ross Barkley in a more attacking role in place of the underperforming Jacob Ramsey.
Wolves Form
Wolves’ five match unbeaten run ended with a 4-1 loss to Premier League Man City on Tuesday.
Wolves looked to be heading for a 1-1 draw against City. Conor Coady’s second half goal levelled out Leander Dendoncker’s early own goal, but three City goals in the last 10 minutes handed Wolves a defeat.
In their last six Premier League games, Wolves have won three, drawn two and lost once.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have struggled away from home recently. They have won once in their last nine away games and gained just six points from their last 27 available on the road.
Wolves Injuries and Team News
Wolves will be without Raul Jimenez, Daniel Podence and Fernando Marcel, who are all ruled out through injury.
Nuno Espirito Santo made one change for the 4-1 loss to City, replacing striker Willian Jose with defender Ki-Jana Hoever.
Wolves are likely to stick with an unchanged side this weekend after a largely positive performance against Man City, despite the three late goals.
