Wolves - Player To Watch
While his team-mates have floundered for the most part so far this campaign, Mario Lemina has kept his performance levels high and scored against Newcastle in the last Premier League game.
Aston Villa vs Wolves - Prediction
Both sides played during the week, though Wolves changed a lot of players, but Aston Villa still have more than enough quality when rotating to take down their local rivals on Saturday. Even when the likes of Jhon Duran are brought into the fold, the quality does not drop.
