Aston Villa welcome their local rivals, Wolverhampton Wanderers, to Villa Park on Sunday, aiming to extend a superb run of form that has propelled them into the top four.
Unai Emery’s side arrives in superb form, having won their last five matches in all competitions. This run includes a midweek victory over Young Boys in the Europa League, where Donyell Malen starred with a brace. Consequently, the hosts will be confident of securing an eighth straight home win.
Villa Park has become a fortress under Emery. In fact, only Arsenal and Manchester City have picked up more home wins this season. Furthermore, Villa have won their last two home league games against Wolves, reversing a previous poor record in this fixture. With a fully rested attack, they will look to pile more misery on their struggling neighbours today.
Aston Villa team news
Unai Emery is in the enviable position of having a near-fully fit squad for today’s West Midlands derby. The only confirmed absentee is defender Tyrone Mings. He remains sidelined with a hamstring injury sustained against Liverpool earlier this month. Emery confirmed the centre-back is not expected to return for “one month more.”
However, the squad has otherwise emerged unscathed from their midweek Europa League victory. Despite the quick turnaround, Emery is confident in his players’ recovery. The manager rotated his side for the European fixture, noting that those who played fewer minutes have trained well. With Amadou Onana returning to action midweek and Andrés García back on the bench, Villa’s depth is close to maximum capacity.
