Aston Villa Predicted Lineup Vs Wolverhampton Wanderers in Premier League

How Aston Villa Have Lined up Recently

Unai Emery named an unchanged XI for Tuesday’s victory over BSC Young Boys, so could stick with that exact same team for a third successive match.

Lamare Bogarde was replaced at halftime, with Diego Carlos coming on and Ezri Konsa sliding across to right-back, the youngster still needs time to get to grips with such high-level competition.

Jhon Durán can’t stop scoring right now, even if his wonder strike at Stadion Wankdorf was disallowed by referee Georgi Kabakov for a very marginal handball, despite this, the Colombian is likely to remain on the bench.

Aston Villa’s Recent Form and Tactics

Will Aston Villa’s excellent form continue?

In mid-week, featuring in the Champions League for the first time since the early 80s, the Claret and Blue Army smashed Swiss champions Young Boys 3-0.

Youri Tielemans fired home a well-worked set-piece routine and Jacob Ramsey tapped home from close range, following a bizarre sequence, before Amadou Onana’s late, long-range strike made the points secure in Bern.

Tougher tests await for Emery’s team, not least the visit of Bayern Munich in under a fortnight, the Bavarian giants starting their own Champions League campaign with a 9-2 victory, no that’s not a typo, but Villa could hardly have made a better start themselves.

Back in the Premier League, the Villans have won three out of four so far, most recently fighting back from two goals down to beat Everton 3-2 last Saturday; Durán’s rocket completing the turnaround.

So, with winless Wolves, who currently languish in the relegation zone, their opponents this Saturday, most are forecasting a home win.

Aston Villa Injuries to Consider

Leon Bailey has sat out Villa’s last two matches, as well as Jamaica’s pair of CONCACAF Nations League fixtures earlier this month, due to injury, but was back amongst the substitutes in Switzerland, so is in contention to feature here, if not from the start.

Tyrone Mings, Matty Cash and Boubacar Kamara are all sidelined for sure. Lastly, after being substituted on Tuesday, Ollie Watkins was spotted with ice on his ankle, but the hope is that this was just a precautionary measure.
