Wolves' excellent form this season has been characterised by a defensive solidity, with goalkeeper Rui Patricio keeping a club record 10 clean sheets.

At the other end, striker Raul Jimenez netted his 14th of the season in midweek to break another club record, with no other Wolves player ever having scored as many Premier League goals in a single season.

The team is working well as a unit with the likes of Adama Traore and Willy Boly both being standout performers, meaning Wolves will make the short trip to Villa Park full of confidence.

Dean Smith's men, though, are struggling and their record of 59 goals conceded in 31 games is the worst in the top flight.

Against their local rivals who are enjoying a strong run of attacking form, Villa could be in for another difficult encounter.
