Aston Villa is gearing up for another intense encounter as they follow their midweek Battle of Britain with a potentially fiery Midlands derby against Wolverhampton Wanderers. The question on everyone's mind is whether Wednesday night's Champions League clash with Celtic at Villa Park will leave Unai Emery's squad fatigued as they head to Molineux, aiming to regain their Premier League momentum. Villa has been held to draws in their last two league matches against Arsenal and West Ham, leaving them four points adrift in the race for a top-four spot. Emery is eager to guide his team back into Europe's elite competition next season, so dropping points against Wolves could be costly.

Wolves, meanwhile, have slipped back into the relegation zone following a string of poor results. The initial boost from Vitor Pereira’s appointment has faded dramatically, akin to a tennis ball chewed up by a Rottweiler, with the team losing their last four Premier League outings. Wolves are desperately seeking a turnaround as their relegation odds shorten and a victory in this derby against Villa could be just what they need to reignite their season and climb out of danger.
