Wolves v Aston Villa

Wolves vs Aston Villa Preview

Wolves will no doubt be desperate to avoid being dealt a fifth defeat on the trot in the Premier League on Saturday evening when the hosts entertain Aston Villa in this west midlands clash but Wolves now find themselves back in the relegation zone ahead of this tough looking fixture.

Aston Villa extended their unbeaten run in the English top flight to five games following a 1-1 draw at home against West Ham, but having suffered just two defeats in their last 10 matches overall in the domestic top flight, The Villans will be eyeing off an important three-point haul at Molineux on Saturday evening.

After posting promising back-to-back wins against Leicester City and Manchester United towards the end of last year, Wolves' form has once again slipped into decline as the west midlands hosts have suffered four defeats on the trot since then.

Losses at the hands of Nottingham Forest 3-0, Newcastle United 3-0, Chelsea 3-1 and Arsenal 1-0 respectively have been bad enough but to make matters worse, Wolves have also shipped three goals in four of these recent defeats as well.

Results overall this season have told their own story where Wolves have been concerned and that is a lack of consistency with just four wins collected so far in this season's campaign but also being handed no fewer than 15 defeats within their 23 matches played to date.

Aston Villa occupy eighth place in the Premier League but although the visitors have also progressed through to the round of last 16 in the Champions League, participation in this competition has taken its toll on The Villans who find themselves four points adrift of the top four clubs in the domestic top flight.

Nevertheless, Unai Emery's side bring a five-game unbeaten run into this Saturday evening clash at Molineux which consists of two wins and three draws; victories gained over Leicester City and Everton have been complemented by picking up points in draws with Brighton, Arsenal and West Ham.

Villa have been dealt just two defeats in their last 10 matches overall in the Premier League which came in the form of losses to Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United, both of which are in the top five places of the top flight table, but Villa have also collected five wins within this period as well.

Vital wins against Brentford, Southampton, Manchester City, Leicester City and Everton will give Unai Emary's side plenty of confidence for this upcoming fixture at Molineux against a struggling Wolves outfit.

Wolves v Aston Villa Verdict

Aston Villa have won both of the previous two encounters on the trot against Wolves and as the hosts have slipped four defeats on the trot, The Villans look the more likely here.
