Edwards oversaw a decent fight but another defeat for Wolves in his first game in charge of the club for whom he played 111 games during his years as a centre-back. He went 0-0-2 against Villa as Luton Town manager in 2023-24. A win would be huge given Wolves are on a horrible trajectory – 2D-10L in the league without a goal scored in their last seven halves of Premier League football.

Villa’s terrible start to the Premier League season is a thing of the past. Having picked up just one point from their first three matches and three from their first five, Unai Emery’s men have won six of their seven, including at Tottenham Hotspur and at home to Manchester City. The Europa League has also been pretty good for Villa, who beat Young Boys 2-1 at home on Thursday in a match overshadowed by problems with visiting fans. Villa open the weekend in fourth place with 21 points, two behind second-placed Chelsea and eight behind leaders Arsenal before the Londoners kick off later on Sunday.

Aston Villa vs Wolves prediction
This has a recipe for upset if you buy into Edwards developing a good game plan over the last week. Emery limited his top dogs’ minutes on Thursday in the Europa League, though, so this isn’t a traditional UEL rebound. Always… Aston Villa 1-1 Wolves.
