TEAMS PREVIEW

Aston Villa FC Preview

Villa carried their impressive form into match week 12, shaking off an early blow to rally past Leeds 2-1. After struggling against Leeds’ low block in the first half, Emery’s adjustments—injecting more width, pace, and fresh legs—completely changed the rhythm of the game. 

Morgan Rogers stepped up with a decisive brace, sealing the comeback. With that formula working so well, Villa are likely to lean on the same wide, dynamic approach against Wolves as they push for a seventh win in their last eight matches.

Stats that matter

1. Aston Villa have lost just once  in their last 24 home games in the Premier League.
2. No team has scored more goals (8) from outside the box in the league than Aston Villa.
3. Morgan Rogers has been involved in five goals  (3 goals & 2 assists) in his last seven Premier League appearances. 

Team News 

Aside from the long-term absentees, Emery’s only real worry is Amadou Onana, who remains a doubt for Sunday’s clash. 

Aston Villa Probable Starting Lineup -  Martinez (GK); Cash, Konsa, Pau Torres, Digne (Defenders); Kamara, Tielmans, Morgan Rogers (Midfielders); McGinn, Guessand, Watkins (Forwards). 

Wolverhampton Wanderers FC Preview

For Wolves, matchweek 12 brought more of the same as they slipped to their 10th league defeat, this time against Crystal Palace. However, the new manager Rob Edwards did look to shake things up by pairing new signing Tolu Arokodare with Jorgen Strand Larsen. 

While the duo produced only one shot on target from seven attempts, it was still a step forward compared to the Chelsea game, where Wolves failed to register a single shot on target. Regardless, sitting nine points adrift of safety, Wolves look firmly on course for a relegation battle this season, unless Rob Edwards comes up with something special 

Stats that matter 

1. Wolves are the only side yet to win a game this season in the Premier League.
2. It's been 16 games since the last time Wolverhampton have won a game in the league.
3. No player has scored more than once in the league for Wolves this season. 

Team News 

Alongside long-term absentees Matt Doherty and Rodrigo Gomes, Wolves have now lost Daniel Bentley to injury, with the keeper set to miss out of action for several weeks.

Wolverhampton Probable Starting Lineup - Johnstone (GK); Tchatchoua, H Beuno, Santiago Bueno, Agbadou, Krencl (Defenders); Munetsi, Joao Gomez, Andre (Midfielders); Tolu Arokodare, Jorgen Strand-Larsen ( Forwards)
