Wolverhampton Wanderers and Aston Villa will both be looking to bounce back when they face off as the Premier League resumes following the international break. These two sides sit side by side in the standings but are separated by 10 points. Hosts Wolves are on 46 points in eighth place while Villa have 36 points in ninth place. Earlier in the season, Wolves passed as one of the finest defensive sides in the league but they’ve lost that lately. They have just three clean sheets in their last 11 matches, and have been a bit inconsistent of late. In their last league match before heading to the international break, Wolves let a two-goal lead slip and lost 3-2 to struggling Leeds United. Worse still, they finished that game with 10 men after Raul Jimenez’s sending off, and the Mexican will sit out this game. That defeat was the second time in four matches that they conceded two or more. They haven’t done so well at home, losing four of their last six matches there and failing to score in three.

Aston Villa will be looking to rise from two straight losses as they travel to the West Midlands. In their last outing, they fell 1-0 to Arsenal, having earlier lost 2-1 to West Ham United. Their loss to Arsenal marked the first time in five matches that they failed to score. Three times in the last five matches, they’ve scored two or more goals, and they will hope this potency stays on, as they face a side that can be tough to crack. Being 14 points below Europe slots seems huge but with nine games to play, Villa will feel they can still challenge, and this is what they will take to the Wolves match. Three of their last five matches, all in the league, have produced over 2.5 goals and three wins in the last five away matches should breed in them the confidence they need as they face a side that hasn’t really been superb at home.
