Wolves welcome Aston Villa to Molineux this evening in a local grudge match.
Vitor Pereira’s team are aiming to avoid a fifth straight Premier League defeat against their Midlands rivals. Wolves dropped into the relegation places last weekend, following a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal on home soil.
However, it was an improved performance from Pereira’s team with January signing Emmanuel Agbadou impressive. Pereira has made clear his desire for further reinforcements before Monday’s transfer deadline.
