Aston Villa will take on Wolverhampton Wanderers as they travel to the Molineux Stadium on Saturday, hoping to earn a victory in this weekend’s encounter. The Villans come into the match on the back of a 1-0 loss against Manchester United, so they must give a better performance this time around.
Unai Emery should opt for the 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to keep the changes to a minimum for this contest. We can expect Ollie Watkins to lead the line while Emiliano Martinez continues to operate in goal.
4-2-3-1 Aston Villa Predicted XI Vs Wolves
Defence
After failing to keep a clean sheet in his last outing, Emiliano Martinez will continue to function in goal for the Villans. Tyrone Mings will resume his centre-back partnership with Ezri Konsa at the heart of Villa’s defence as they try to keep the opposition at bay throughout the game.
Ashley Young will put in a tireless display as the right-back, while Alex Moreno proves his worth on the other side as the left-back. They will have to defend their penalty box well and try to create some decent chances going forward.
Lucas Digne will offer cover for the defensive positions as they take a spot on the bench.
Midfield
Douglas Luiz will anchor the midfield alongside Leander Dendoncker as they focus on dominating the midfield battle and creating inviting chances for their teammates in the final third.
John McGinn will try to be productive for the West Midlands club on the right flank. Jacob Ramsey will try to give a good account of himself as a left-sided wide player, while Emi Buendia continues as the primary playmaker looking to be productive in front of the goal.
Boubacar Kamara remains sidelined due to their injuries, so the West Midlands club remains short on options in the midfield department.
Attack
Ollie Watkins will lead the charge against the opposition on the attacking end of the field. The English sensation would be eager to find the back of the net when he laces up to face off against the opposition defenders this weekend.
Bertrand Traore will take a spot on the bench while waiting for a chance to shine in the second half.
