Wolves make a short trip to Villa Park to play out a Midlands Derby against Aston Villa in the return of the Premier League after the international break. The visitors are placed twelfth in the table with nine points from seven fixtures while the hosts find themselves just two places up at tenth in the Premier League standings. Aston Villa have notched up ten points from their seven games so far. The hosts come into the game with a 2-1 defeat on the road against Tottenham Hotspur. Aston Villa have registered wins against Newcastle United, Everton and Manchester United while losing out to Watford, Chelsea and Spurs in the Premier League. Dean Smith’s side have been a free-scoring team so far but without a dependable defence. They have scored in every single game in the current season barring the Chelsea fixture. Aston Villa also have had over 2.5 goals in four out of their last seven fixtures across all competitions. Defensive problems loom at large for Smith’s men with just two clean sheets in their last six games.

Wolves have been on a similar run of form as Aston Villa so far in the new season. They have managed to win games against Watford, Southampton and Newcastle United with their defeats being against Leicester City, Tottenham and Brentford in the Premier League. Wolves have been creating a lot of scoring opportunities in the Premier League so far but lack quality finishing. In fact, Wolves have the fifth-highest expected goals in the Premier League this season, so far. They have netted seven goals in their last five games, failing to score just once in that period across all competitions. Bruno Lage’s men also have had over 2.5 goals in two out of their last three matches.
