Where They Stand: Aston Villa currently stands at fourth position in this season's Premier League table with 56 points to their name. They are three points ahead of the fifth-place-bound Tottenham Hotspur. Their points tally itself depicts what a stellar job Unai Emery has done for the club. On the other hand, Wolves are currently sitting in ninth spot with 41 points to their name. The Old Gold are just three points behind the seventh-place West Ham having played one game less than the Hammers. 

The Preview: A win in the much-anticipated West Midlands Derby could do wonders for Wolves, especially if results from the other Premier League fixtures of the weekend go their way. A victory for Aston Villa will help them to further propel their chase for UEFA Champions League spots for the next season. While on the overall season form, Aston Villa might be tipped as favorite for this clash, one could never rule out Wolves regardless of the team they are coming up against. 

The Observer: A loss against Coventry and how it happened must be heartbreaking for Wolves. But, the Premier League fixture against Aston Villa will provide them the opportunity to start afresh and put behind the disappointment of the FA Cup exit. Aston Villa would be relieved as the Molineux side would be without the services of Perdo Neto, and Hwang Hee-chan. But, a probable return for Mattheus Cunha, could boost Wolves' hopes. The Old Gold will be themselves aware of Villa's players like Ollie Watkins, and Leon Bailey. All in all the Midlands Derby promises to be a mouth-watering fixture.
