Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Aston Villa Pre-Match

[KRS]

Not sure if it's been mentioned but it appears the game is live on Sky One.

Just checked the Sky EPG, and can confirm coverage starts at 1pm on Sky One.

If Grealish is out, any sign of Jota being back? At the presser Smith was asked about injuries and he only mentioned Lansbury missing a day of training. But what about Chester, Davis and Jota?  Give us complete answers like.

Jota only returned to training this week, so it's doubtful that he'll be ready.

Any kind of a victory, spawny or otherwise will be much welcomed - Everton and Newcastle winning today has set the tone
We really need to be moving away from the bottom during November and December

Win would be brilliant, draw would do, points crucial, lets hope they are still recovering from the midweek game, 2-1 Villa.

FIFA predicts Wolves 0 Villa 1 (Grealish 43) but it was FIFA 19 so last season’s squads, and Jack might be out, so don’t put your life savings on it (Damo.)

30 years I've lived in Wolverhampton (I know, I know). An absolute desperate club that are aching to be noticed. Heard fuck all off them for four decades until they finally finished above us and then they were falling over each other to manufacture a 'rivalry' with us ,  they messure everything they do against what we have done and their actual local rivals care more about us than they do them. Singing about gaps and levels, a more cringey set of fucktards you will never come across. They have an abnormal amount of middle aged fat blokes that wear football tops two sizes too small with names on the back. Weird as fuck club.

3-1 us. Wes all 3.

They like all the other near neighbours seem to hate us. Their crowd will be well up for this. It’s going to be a difficult afternoon. Based on our last two performances there a draw would be great but I honestly fear the worst with this one

They've not been great at home this season though.  Still think it will be a tough game and judging by some of the calls in to WM this week, their fans will have whipped themselves up into a frenzy.

I'm another one who just doesn't get their fans' seeming obsession with us.  Like the residents of Small Heath and Sandwell, any upturn in fortune is greeted with 'mind the gap' and 'pride of the Midlands' nonsense aimed in our direction.  Suppose we should be flattered really, as they obviously see us as so e kind of benchmark. 

All I know, is that I want Villa to be challenging for trophies and competing with the top teams in the country and not obsessing over finishing above the likes of Blues, Albion, Wolves and Coventry.

 1-1. We’ll take the lead and you know the rest.

Come on the Villa boys! Let's beat the dogheads and take the 3 points. UTV!

[de bank]

This is a very important game in respect of how we’re perceived as a team, by us fans & everyone, I think we’re learning as a prem team, we did pretty well against the top two, especially against 'The Mighty Reds YNWA', but ultimately no points, one look at the table & the need for any points now is obvious, we definitely don’t want the plucky losers tag, today could define our season if we win

[Clampy]

Another good test for us and I can't see any reason why we can't we shouldn't come away with all three points, taking our chances and VAR permitting. 1-3 to us. Tresquet with two, and SJM with the other.

[St AustellAVFC]

Villa win 2-0. Wes and a header from Mings with the goals. C’mon you Villa boys.
