Unsettled Wolves startled treble winners Man City with a 2-1 win at Molineux last weekend, putting an end to the champion's 100% winning record this season. Boss Gary O'Neil will be hoping to build on that success against Aston Villa. New Wolves captain Max Kilman will be charged with replicating the defensive wall of steel against Ollie Watkins, while Pedro Neto, using his lightning bolt speed, is the man to give the opposition nightmares at the other end. Wolves might be 15th in the table but that City could spell trouble for high-flying Villa.
Seven Premier League games played, 5 wins and 18 goals scored – can Aston Villa maintain the tremendous top five start to the season in the West Midlands derby this weekend? Unai Emery has been rocked by injuries to Tyrone Mings and Alex Moreno, and faces a midweek game against Zrinjski Mostar in the Europa Conference league on Thursday. Still, victory at the Molineux against O'Neil's unpredictable outfit would be sweet.
For Wolves, Santiano Bueno and Hugo Bueno are both doubts, nursing small knocks.
Moussa Diaby and Boubacar Kanmara are a doubt for Villa while Jacob Ramsey and Alex Moreno have both been ruled out.
Wolves XI: Sa (GK); Semedo; Dawson, Kilman, Toti, Ait-Nouri; Gomes, Lemina; Hwang, Cunha, Neto.
Wolves subs: Bentley (GK), Doherty, S. Bueno, Boubacar Traore, Silva, Kalajdzic, Jonny, Doyle, Sarabia.
Villa XI: Martinez (GK); Konsa, D. Carlos, Pau, Digne; Kamara, D. Luiz, Cash, McGinn; Diaby, Watkins.
Villa subs: Olsen (GK), Tielemans, Bertrand Traore, Chambers, Lenglet, Zaniolo, Duran, Bailey, Dendoncker.
