Aston Villa v Wolves

Aston Villa vs Wolves Preview

Aston Villa made it three wins in their opening four games of the new Premier League season last weekend when the west midlands club registered a 3-2 home win against Everton which in turn helped Unai Emery's side up into fourth place, while Wolves by contrast slipped to a third defeat in four games in the top flight following a 2-1 loss at home to Newcastle United, making this upcoming west midlands clash another tough prospect for the visitors.

Despite being dealt a 2-0 defeat at home by Arsenal, Aston Villa have captured three wins within their opening four games in this season's Premier League to date having recorded victories over the likes of West Ham, Leicester City and Everton respectively, and the hosts will no doubt fancy their chances of picking up another important three points here on Saturday afternoon.

Aston Villa had previously ended last season's campaign in disappointing fashion as they failed to win any of their last four games of last term but a positive start to this new term should give the hosts plenty of confidence.

Wolves have not only failed to win any of their opening four games of this new Premier League season but Gary O'Neil's side have also slumped to three defeats within the early weeks of this campaign.

The visitors have managed to pick up just one point from a possible 12 on offer so far this season which was thanks to a 1-1 draw away from home at Nottingham Forest but they have otherwise struggled in the early weeks of this season, slipping to losses at the hands of Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle United respectively.

The bigger picture also paints a rather bleak outlook for O'Neil and his side as Wolves have managed to capture just one win in their previous 14 league matches overall, which came courtesy of a 2-1 home win against relegated Luton Town towards the end of last season but also includes being dealt 10 defeats in the process as well.

Results away from home have also been impacted as Wolves have now failed to win any of their last eight games on the road and losing five of these games, while the wider picture shows the visitors have recorded just three wins in their last 16 outings on their travels.

In addition, Wolves have managed to keep just a single clean sheet in their previous 19 away games in the Premier League and this could result in further trouble at the back for Wolves here on Saturday afternoon.
