Unai Emery's Aston Villa will host Wolves in their second Premier League fixture of 2023 as Wolves desperately seek escape out of relegation zone.

Villa’s John McGinn and Luiz were both forced to come off in the second half against Spurs after sustaining a thigh and ankle injury respectively.

The victory sends Aston Villa (22 points) up one place in the Premier League table, into 11th. Saints reached the League Cup final in 2017, but were somewhat controversially beaten by Manchester United at Wembley Stadium. The loan signing of Matheus Cunha from Atletico Madrid should give them extra quality in the final third and defensively they’ve looked solid all season and Ruben Neves and Joao Moutinho will always hold things down in midfield. It seems like Wolves captain Ruben Neves almost scores a screamer in every single game and his compatriot Jose Sa was superb against Manchester United.

On Wednesday, Wolverhampton Wanderers, who are 19th in the Premier League, will play Aston Villa at Villa Park. Aston Villa started their league season by ...

In their Premier League encounters, they have been evenly matched, winning five games each and drawing four. They are unlikely to win, as they have only won once in their last seven league games. Fortunately, they appear to be in a good position to win because they have performed better than the visitors this season.

Chris Sutton has given his score prediction ahead of Wolves' trip to Aston Villa, where Julen Lopetegui and Unai Emery will meet again.

Psychologically, that would be huge for the players. Lopetegui needs to just go for it. Hopefully, Cunha will be starting and giving Villa a different kind of headache to Costa. No sitting back and playing for a point in the hope of not losing a local derby match. This game has the potential to be a complete catalyst for Wolves. For Wolves, the incentive is that a win will get them out of the relegation zone.

Without further ado, here is the confirmed team news for tonight’s clash. Wolves can head up and out of the relegation zone with a victory. Things are very different several months on, though, with both sides taking on new managers since they last met.

What a let-off for the visitors, but what an opportunity to go begging for Villa. Wolves miss the chance to move out of the Premier League's relegation zone after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Aston Villa. That's all for today.

Here's the ratings from Villa Park as Danny Ings' goal 12 minutes from time rescues a point for Unai Emery's men who were below par here against Wolves.

Ings also picked out Bailey for his missed chance at the end. The striker cupped his ears as he scored. Moved to the right-hand side after the break but failed to deliver that bit of magic. Fired wide off balance after chopping past his man with Villa fired up after the restart. Strong as he raced back to clear as Ait-Nouri looked to be in on goal as Wolves countered quickly. Digne put in a wicked ball on the hour but Bailey was well-marshalled by Wolves’ centre-backs. Digne did come up with Villa’s only meaningful effort on Wolves’ goal in the first 45 with a curling free-kick as Sa tipped it over. Ashley Young: Villa’s skipper this evening in place of McGinn but Young struggled and was taken off at half-time. Martinez was strong to take the sting out of Adama’s powerful cross just after the break while, with eight remaining, stood firm to keep Adama’s effort out not knowing the offside flag was raised. Loud boos were fired at the players as they headed in and, after the restart, Emery drafted on Philippe Coutinho for Young while, not long after the hour, Ings, Ludwig Augustinsson and Leander Dendoncker all came on with Villa in real need of some fresh legs. Joao Moutinho popped a lovely ball into Podence before the little Portuguese danced past Douglas Luiz and fired home into the far corner for 1-0. Matty Cash was his replacement on the right-hand side of midfield while, in goal, Emery drafted World Cup winner Emi Martinez back in.

Aston Villa went a goal down to Wolves early on, but battled back and got a late equalizer from Danny Ings to secure a point at Villa Park on Wednesday.

The Eagles have failed to score a goal in three of their last four PL games as they generate precious scoring chances and struggle to finish the ones they do create. His cross is blocked and then a cross is swung in but Ederson saves the header. Antony is also getting back to his best after a bit of a dip in form. United are building momentum and Marcus Rashford is leading the charge. As for City, they make eight changes to the team which lost at Southampton in midweek as Haaland and De Bruyne are tasked with unlocking this suddenly very stingy United defense. In the form he’s in, this is the last thing Manchester United would have wanted. Felt like he was offside most of the time he tried to get involved in attacks. The spirit of the team is so huge, the belief is there that the game is 90 minutes and we can fight back. Marcus Rashford was flagged for offside and the goal from Bruno Fernandes didn’t stand, but VAR was used and it now stands. The Red Devils have now won nine-straight games in all competitions and five-straight in the Premier League. Spurs have not lost a home Premier League derby to Arsenal in eight-straight, with only two draws and the last one coming in March 2019. The Gunners could be just two points clear of Man City at kickoff, but they could also have a chance to stretch their table advantage as high as eight.

But I think we changed some different tactical issues in the second half and tried to play more with the heart. "In the end we get one point so we are a little bit disappointed. In the end, we had control for 60 minutes. This current Aston Villa is one of the best teams in the Premier League. "The supporters helped us by pushing us. But with the ball on his weaker right foot, he did not have the confidence or the technique to slot into the vacant net. The big chance was still to come. They wanted to see possession and pressing but there was little of either for 45 minutes. Ultimately, Julen Lopetegui's side were grateful for a point after Bailey rounded goalkeeper Jose Sa only to shoot wide of the near post with the goal gaping. Danny Ings had come off the bench to equalise for Unai Emery's side in a fiery West Midlands derby. Sa delayed and the striker lifted it over him. Wolves put Villa under pressure from the outset.
