Tough one to predict. Expensively assembled team, a few classy foreign prima-donnas but playing great football, in-form, good run of results. And they're next up at Wolves.
Once again, work prevents me travelling up the A34, so I'll have to settle with watching it on Sky with the Mikey Burrows commentary turned up loud.
Difficult one to predict. I feel we want to win games at this stage of the season, but Villa need to win them. Despite the win at Burton, I've still got a sense of Wolves being a little bit lightweight. Unlike many teams coming to Molineux this season, I think they will come set up to win. I suspect they will come at us from the start and will be play a Warnockesque physical game to intimidate Neves and Saiss. So I reckon Douglas will be back on the left and Vinagre brought on late on (with Price and Cav)
Possible team:
I'm hoping the home atmosphere will edge it to us...2-1 maybe, but it wouldn't surprise me to see a Villa win. That's me being smug.

Ruddy
Batth - Boly - Miranda
Doherty - Neves - Saiss - Douglas
Costa - Bonatini - Jota
I think this could either be a classic boring physical derby, up there with the long-term best of Birmingham City - Wolves matches...or a right riveting end-to-end game. From our point of view, a lot will depend on who replaces Taylor for Villa....Doherty and Costa can be a lot to handle for someone out of position. But then , the same could be said for Onomah down their right hand side.....Batth - Boly - Miranda
Doherty - Neves - Saiss - Douglas
Costa - Bonatini - Jota
