Aston Villa aim to chalk up their third straight Premier League win when they welcome a struggling Wolves side to Villa Park on Sunday afternoon.
Unai Emery's men dive back into domestic matters after their midweek Europa League meeting with Young Boys, while Wolves have spent the past week stewing over their defeat to Crystal Palace.
Beyond local bragging rights, the visitors are desperate to finally notch their first league victory of the campaign at the 13th time of asking, with new boss Rob Edwards overseeing just his second match as he tries to steady a sinking ship.
Villa, meanwhile, narrowly missed out on Champions League football last season, but they look well poised to make another serious charge for a top-five finish, especially with the pack behind runaway leaders Arsenal bunched tightly together.

Aston Villa vs. Wolves prediction: Who will win today?
Aston Villa roll into the weekend in red-hot Premier League form, hosting a Wolves side who can't buy a win at the moment. Unai Emery's men have stitched together back-to-back league victories, and across the last six rounds only Arsenal have collected more points. A midweek Europa League outing is on the agenda, but it shouldn't throw them off their stride.
Wolves, meanwhile, make the short trip desperately searching for a spark. Still winless in the league and with just a single away point to their name, they've stumbled into the season. Rob Edwards' reign began with a defeat to Crystal Palace, and a repeat outcome at Villa Park wouldn't shock anyone.

Head-to-Head: Aston Villa vs. Wolves
- Aston Villa head into this derby with recent history on their side, having won their last two Premier League meetings with Wolves at Villa Park. Before that, though, victories were hard to come by, just one win in nine home clashes against their West Midlands rivals (D5 L3).
- Wolves, for their part, managed only a single top-flight victory over Villa between 1980 and 2012. But since both clubs returned to the Premier League in 2019, the pendulum has swung more evenly, with Wolves taking six of the 12 encounters in that spell.

Aston Villa vs. Wolves Final Score Prediction
Aston Villa welcome Wolves this weekend with the wind firmly at their backs. Emery's side have rattled off four wins in their last five across all competitions, playing with real swagger and belief. Up against the league's bottom side, Villa will feel this is a golden chance to keep their momentum rolling.
Wolves, by contrast, arrive in dire straits. Still searching for their first league win, they've slumped to five straight Premier League defeats, failing to score in their last three and shipping two or more in each of their last five. Confidence is at rock bottom, and the goals have completely dried up.
Given Villa's strong home form, just one loss in six league outings at Villa Park, the hosts will fancy their chances of wrapping up another three points on Sunday.
Score Prediction: Aston Villa 3-1 Wolves (14/1 with Bet365)
