Aston Villa vs. Wolves: Expected Lineup and Team Updates

Aston Villa will face Wolves at Molineux tonight, aiming to achieve their first league double over their local rivals in over 20 years.

Currently in a strong position in the top three, Villa looks to bounce back after a disappointing 1–1 draw with Leeds United. Manager Unai Emery oversaw a match where his team dominated possession but had difficulty scoring. They now confront a challenging test against a defensively solid Wolves side. Villa has won three out of their last four Premier League matches against Wolves and could secure a double for the first time since the 2003-04 season.

Aston Villa Team News

Unai Emery’s squad is close to welcoming back an important winger, though they still miss key players. Captain John McGinn, Youri Tielemans, and Boubacar Kamara are unavailable. As a result, Amadou Onana and Douglas Luiz are expected to stabilize the midfield. Tammy Abraham is vying for a starting position after a strong performance against Leeds. He has scored more goals against Wolves (6) than any other team in English league football.

Emiliano Martínez will be in goal, with a defense featuring Tyrone Mings and Ezri Konsa. In the forward line, Morgan Rogers and Emiliano Buendía will aim to support Ollie Watkins, while Abraham serves as a strong backup option. Villa has been notably effective in the final moments of their recent matches, with three of their last four Premier League goals scored in the last five minutes. Emery’s team holds the third-best away record in the league, earning 22 points from 13 games.
