Wolves will face Aston Villa next in the Premier League at the Molineux Stadium on Saturday. The visitors are only five points behind fifth-placed Liverpool and will be hoping to mount a late challenge for the European spots. The hosts, on the other hand, will be looking to string together wins to stay clear of the drop zone and climb up the table.
Wolves will be confident taking up Villa's challenge in front of their home crowd as they have won their last three home fixtures. They have suffered two defeats in their last three matches, and both of them were away from home.
Aston Villa's 11-match unbeaten run came to an end with a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Manchester United in their previous outing. With the team set to face Tottenham, Liverpool and Brighton after their clash against Wolves, eighth-placed Villa have a difficult yet realistic chance of climbing higher up the standings.

Wolves will be without Chiquinho and Sasa Kalajdzic who are long-term absentees at the club and will take no part in the game against Aston Villa.
Nelson Semedo was forced off in the previous game due to a knee problem and his participation on Saturday will be doubtful. On a more positive note, Boubacar Traore has recovered from his injury but this game could come too soon for his return.
Diego Costa will hope to link up with Matheus Cunha again in the final third after the latter was dropped in Wolves' heavy 6-0 defeat against Brighton.
