Stepping into the shoes of Nuno Espirito Santo was no small feat for Bruno Lage, but the Portuguese has brought more of the same to Molineux and will hope to pick up another major mid-table result this weekend.
The regular presence of Mexico's Raul Jimenez will be absent, however, after his dismissal in that bonkers match with Leeds United when they last took to the field.
Predicted Wolves starting XI: Sa; Kilman, Coady, Saiss; Jonny, Dendoncker, Moutinho, Ait-Nouri; Trincao, Hwang, Podence

| Goalkeepers | Martinez, Olsen, Sinisalo |

Two key names have helped serve the Aston Villa revival since the door shut on Dean Smith's tenure, and it is a couple of ex-Liverpool comrades who have been doing the job.
With Steven Gerrard's nous in the dugout and Phillippe Coutinho's class on the pitch, the Midlands side have proved hard to turn away since the start of the year, but two losses on the trot have hit their stride somewhat.
Predicted Aston Villa starting XI: Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Mings, Digne; McGinn, Luiz, Ramsey; Coutinho; Watkins, Ings
