Aston Villa, currently sitting in third place in the Premier League with 51 points, will be looking to extend their winning run when they take on the league's basement club, Wolverhampton Wanderers, on Friday evening. The visitors have endured a difficult campaign so far, managing just 10 points from their 28 matches, leaving them rooted to the foot of the table and staring down the barrel of relegation.
The gulf in quality between the two sides is evident in the league standings, with Aston Villa enjoying a 41-point advantage over their Midlands rivals. Steven Gerrard's men have been in fine form of late, winning four of their last five matches and conceding just four goals in the process. Their attacking prowess has been on full display, with the likes of Emiliano Buendia and Ollie Watkins leading the charge. In contrast, Wolverhampton Wanderers have struggled to find the back of the net, scoring a mere 18 goals so far this season, the second-lowest tally in the league. The home side will need to find a way to unlock the Aston Villa defence if they are to have any chance of securing a much-needed victory.
