Wolves return from the international break having won three of their last four Premier League games. They've seen excellent play in recent weeks from number 9 Raul Jimenez following his return from a devastating skull fracture, but Jimenez is only on the bench here, having played (and scored) for Mexico in their 2-0 win over El Salvador on Thursday.
Francisco Trincao is also out, due to Covid, so Bruno Lage shuffles his lineup and brings in Adama Traore and Leander Dendoncker.
Villa go into the match carrying the confidence of being at home, where they remain unbeaten. They may be extra-motivated after a 1-2 loss to Tottenham before the break.
Like Lage, Dean Smith has made a couple of adjustments to his lineup, with Emiliano Buendía and Axel Tuanzebe coming in for Kortney Hause and Jacob Ramsey. Surprisingly, goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez and midfielder Douglas Luiz both play despite having featured in international games on Thursday.
Here's how they line up:
Aston Villa: Martinez, Konsa, Tuanzebe, Mings, Cash, McGinn, Douglas Luiz, Buendia, Targett, Watkins, Ings.
Wolverhampton Wanderers: Jose Sa, Kilman, Coady, Saiss, Nelson Semedo, Neves, Dendoncker, Joao Moutinho, Marcal, Traore, Hwang.
