Wolves vs Aston Villa: Lineup Predictions and Team Updates

Wolves face local rivals Aston Villa at Molineux tonight, hoping to achieve only their second win of a challenging Premier League season.

Currently, Wolves are in a tough spot, sitting at the bottom of the table with only 10 points from 28 matches. Manager Rob Edwards saw a strong performance against Crystal Palace last week but was disappointed by a 1–0 loss. Wolves have had success at home against Villa, winning four of the last six encounters and remaining unbeaten at Molineux in this fixture since December 2020.

Wolves Team News

Rob Edwards will manage a squad facing a new suspension while waiting for an important player to return. Ladislav Krejci cannot play after receiving a red card at Selhurst Park, which opens the door for captain Toti to start for the first time since December. Hwang Hee-chan is close to recovery from a calf injury but likely won’t be involved tonight. Importantly, no Wolves player has scored more than twice in the league this season, setting an unwanted record in Premier League history.

José Sá will be in goal, with a back three expected to include Yerson Mosquera and Santiago Bueno. In midfield, André and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde are set to lead the team, while Jackson Tchatchoua and Hugo Bueno will act as wing-backs. Angel Gomes and the sought-after Mateus Mane will support Armstrong up front. Wolves have struggled defensively, conceding the first goal in 22 different matches this season, more than any other team.
