Wolves vs Aston Villa preview
Rob Edwards' men have been playing much better of late but remain 17 points back of safety with only 30 left to claim this season.
Villa are still looking to refind their momentum after a red-hot first 18 weeks of the season, but they're unbeaten in three Premier League matches and sitting third on the table.
Unai Emery and his Europa League Round of 16 entrants have slipped 10 points back of first-place Arsenal and five behind Man City. With fourth-place Manchester United three points behind and both Chelsea and Liverpool another three back, Champions League qualification is now in sincere jeopardy.

Wolves vs Aston Villa prediction
Villa really need to find a strong performance and a convincing win, while Wolves will look to this match as a good chance to give the home stadium some hope ahead of two visits from Liverpool (PL and FA Cup). A win? Like so many Wolves efforts of late, that might be a bridge too far. Wolves 1-1 Aston Villa.
