Match Stats

Wolverhampton Wanderers have struggled since their 2-0 win over Manchester United, earning only one point in their last five Premier League matches. This run included four consecutive losses, with a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal last weekend marking their 15th loss of the season. Wolves have now dropped into the relegation zone, just one point away from safety. They’ve also lost five straight matches under different managers this season and will be aiming to avoid a sixth. Wolves have a decent record at home against Aston Villa, losing just one of their last five meetings, but their defense needs improvement as they have the second-worst goals conceded tally in the league.

Aston Villa, after securing qualification to the Champions League knockout stages with a 4-2 win over Celtic, now focus on their Premier League ambitions. Sitting eighth, they are just four points off the top four. Villa will look to complete their first league double over Wolves since 2003-04 after winning the reverse fixture. Under Unai Emery, they have a strong record when leading at halftime, but their form has been inconsistent recently, with a 1-1 draw against West Ham. However, Villa have remained unbeaten in top-flight matches against teams in the relegation zone under Emery.
